View and chat with participants
1. View and chat with participants
Now let’s talk about viewing other participants in a Meet. During your Google Meet video meeting, you can see a list of the current participants. Click the Show everyone button to expand the side panel, and see everyone’s names and Google Account profile photos. Those who are invited but aren’t in the meeting appear in the Also invited section. Google Meet automatically highlights the current speaker. By clicking on an attendee’s video thumbnail, you can pin them as the main video window. This won’t affect any other attendee’s view of the meeting. Clicking on their name in the list exposes the options to mute their mic and to remove them from the meeting. You can also manage how you view yourself in a meeting. To hide your self-view, click on yourself, and click Remove this tile. Clicking the Chat button opens the side panel to view the text chat of the Google Meet. You can chat with other participants in the meeting at any time; just know that all the meeting participants can see chat messages. If the Google Meet is recorded, the chat is also saved in a .txt file in Drive. You can use the chat in Google Meet to share links to Google Docs, websites, or other resources during the video meeting. However, the chat feature provided in a meeting is distinct from the Google Chat application. As a result, chats in Meet are temporary and only last for the duration of the meeting. Also, users who join the meeting late can’t see the previous chat history. You might also notice that Google Chat auto-creates group chats with everyone on a Calendar invite. Note: If no messages are sent, the chat is removed 10 minutes after the end of the scheduled meeting.2. Let's practice!
