Tech Tip: New layout for Google Meet

Google has introduced a new, simplified layout for Meet which gives users more room for video feeds and content. It also makes the controls easier to find. Learn more about the new control layout with the help of the images below.

Google also updated their Presentation tool, which now allows users to view other participants and the content that you’re presenting simultaneously. 

Tip from Google: For better presentations and to avoid mirroring, users should share content from a different tab (strongly recommended) or window than the meeting window. If you need to share your entire screen, move your presentation to a different monitor if possible.

To learn more about the changes to Google Meet, check out Google’s article.
