Hey everybody Mr. Campbell here with another tutorial. I'm a former middle and
high school English teacher now working as an administrator helping other
teachers use technology in their classroom. So what we're gonna look at
today is we're gonna look at Grid View it's an extension created and we'll go
into the information but what this allows you to do, is it allows you to
view your entire class or your entire group in your Google Meet discussion. So
currently we can only see four people in a meeting excuse me even if we change it
to a different view if you go down here and you hover here and change it to a
different layout if you go to the sidebar layout you're still only gonna
be able to see four other people on this side so what grid view allows you to do
is it allows you to see everybody in your meeting and what they're doing and
the great thing about this is right as if you're a classroom teacher and you're
meeting with you know maybe half your class or you have open office hours and
nine or ten people 9 or 10 students come in to the meeting you want to be able to
see all of them and the reason why is you can see if people are raising their
hand or if they have a question or if they have a comment you can see
everybody in the same view so how we're going to do that is we're gonna grab
this Google Chrome extension here so I'm gonna open up a new window and I'm just
gonna type in Google meat grid-view there it is right there great extension
and it's right there it's the top one right there we're gonna give the shout
out right now this is created by Ryan Meyers and here's all the information
here so what we're gonna do is we're just going to add this to Chrome and
this little icon right here is going to pop up in our extensions you can see a
lot of the other extensions I have here but this is gonna pop up into our
extension tab so if we click add to Chrome we're gonna add the extension
it's gonna pop up right there you'll be able to see it's telling you everything
that's going to do now if we come back to our meet here and I'm gonna refresh
this page I'm gonna come back in the meeting mute myself I'm gonna join now
you'll notice I have a new icon up here and as of right now the extension is
turned off so I'm still only seeing those four people right once I click on
it I am going to be able to see everybody in this view and I can include
myself in the grid I can highlight speakers so whoever's talking there's a
big orange box or a yellow or green box depending on what you want comes around
the people that are speaking I can also limit it to people that are only have
videos so if somebody's just in the meeting maybe they're on their phone
driving and they have the video turned off it's not going to show them in that
grid view now I'm gonna show you what this looks like and this is be a little
bit meta so if I add another window here
let's take the meeting information you'll see what will happen is I'm gonna
pop up in this bottom right-hand corner
when I jump in the meeting I'm you this join now
so you'll see I have grid view so I have all six people here it tells me there's
six people in the meeting if I want to turn that off I would just unclick this
click here I'm gonna go back to whatever setting or view that I had before again
if I want to click it on just click right here and all six of the
participants that are in this meeting will show up here again this is the
Google meet grid view extension that you can find in the google extension store
again I appreciate you as an educator and what you're doing for kids at this
time I have six kids that are in public education too in middle school for in
elementary I love you I appreciate you and I'm glad that you're here
