Engage with participants

1. Engage with participants

In module 3, we discussed how participants can chat with each other in a Google Meet video meeting. Google Meet also offers other features to engage with meeting attendees. You can click the Activities icon to open the panel. You can assign participants to breakout rooms while a meeting is in progress. You already learned how to configure them in Calendar before a meeting begins. When a meeting is in progress, you can configure breakout rooms within your Google Meet window. Google Meet also has a question and answer feature, or Q&A, that allows participants to post questions in a meeting. A host can use the host controls to choose whether to allow questions in Q&A. If allowed, anyone in the meeting can ask a question. All meeting attendees receive a notification when a new question is asked, and all of them can see it. By default, meetings are configured to allow anonymous questions. This means that the name of the person who’s asking the question is hidden from all attendees, including the meeting host. However, hosts can also choose to turn off this feature, which means that all questions will be shown with the name of the poster. All meeting participants can ask, upvote, and filter questions. Participants can also delete their own questions. Deleted questions are not viewable by general participants. However, hosts can view deleted questions. Anonymous questions are also viewable, but they omit the poster’s name. Meeting hosts and co-hosts can manage the questions asked in a meeting. They can hide a question, mark a question answered, or delete a question. At the end of a meeting, hosts also receive an email report of all of the questions that were asked in the meeting, along with the names of the people who posted them. Hosts can also create polls for participants to vote on. Like Q&As, meeting participants are notified when a poll is created and have the option to respond to a poll anonymously. At the end of the meeting, hosts are automatically emailed a report with the poll results and any questions that were asked during the meeting.
