Manage audio and video

1. Manage audio and video

In this video, you’ll explore audio and video settings in Google Meet. You’lll learn how to: Test audio and video View your google meet settings Join and use a phone for audio The following settings can be configured both before you join from the Get ready page and whilst you’re attending a meeting. Let’s start by talking about how you can customize your Google Meet settings. In the green room, the preview window shows what you are displaying to meeting attendees. Click the mic icon to mute your microphone and click the video cam icon to disable your webcam video. If you speak into your mic, the audio energy bars in the preview window move in response to your voice. Let’s look at some more settings we can view and configure. Click the More options button to see the options to Apply visual effects, Turn on captions and change settings. Before joining a meeting, you can change your background by using a provided image, video, or immersive background. You can upload your own or select styles and filters. If you prefer not to use a background, you can also choose to blur your background. In settings, you can choose your microphone and speakers if they’re different from your device’s defaults. You can also change your camera and send and receive resolutions for video. On slow internet connections, reducing video resolutions can improve your meeting experience by reducing the size of the video image to prevent stuttering and audio being out of sync with the attendee’s webcam video Clicking the Join now button adds you immediately to the Google Meet by using your current settings for audio and video. If you don’t have a mic and speakers on your computer, Google Meet has the option to use your phone for the audio features. Click Join and use a phone for audio and then choose if you want Google Meet to call you to automatically join you to the audio of the meeting or if you want to call and enter the audio PIN for the meeting.
