To start Google meet, first you have to log into your Google
account. So I have logged into my gmail account. And now I
click on these nine dots, which is the application launcher. And
then I click on meet. And now this is Google meet homepage.
You can also access this page simply by typing meet.google.com
Once you have logged into your Gmail account, and first I will
show you how to start the meeting right away. And then I
will show you a better way of starting a Google meet meeting.
And which is by using the calendar so that all your team
members know when the meeting is going to be started. And they
will get a reminder and they can join the meeting straight from
within their calendars. But first, let's start the meeting
right away. So I click on start meeting.
And no, it has started the meeting. As you can see, I have
two controls here, my camera and my microphone. So if I click
here, my camera turns off, I can turn it back on. And similarly I
can mute myself from here, I also have these three dots on
the right hand side if I click on this. So there are two
important icons here. One is the turn on captions. And if I turn
on captions, whatever I say in the meeting will be shown
written on the screen. So let me turn off at the moment. The
second icon is settings, the gear icon, if I click on
Settings, no, I can set audio video settings about the
meeting. So if I click on this little triangle, all my audio
devices, currently I have two audio devices, they are listed
here. And if you use different audio device for speaking and
for listening, then you will see a warning here. So normally,
your microphone and speaker device should be same.
Similarly, you can adjust your camera settings here. So both
send and receive resolutions are 360 DPI by default. But if you
have a better internet, you can change this to 720 feet. And now
once everything is fine, which already looks fine, so I can
click done here. And now let's join the meeting now. So I click
Join no button. And now this window will pop up. And on this
window, we have this meeting link, I can send this link to
anyone who I want to invite to join the meeting, they are not
required to have a Gmail or any Google account, they can simply
click on this link and they will be able to join the meeting. So
by sending the link is one way to invite people. So if I click
on this, I will see this message that the joining info has been
copied to clipboard. So it means that if I press Ctrl V, it will
be pasted anywhere I want. The other way to invite people is by
clicking on add people button. And if I click on add people, so
now it will show me my contacts. And now I can type the name or
the email of the person I want to invite, then I select that
person, I can also add more people. So let me add one more.
And now I simply click on Send Email, and no in white sent, I
received this message. And if I click on this icon, so it will
show me number of people in the meeting. And I can also add
further participants by clicking on this add people. Now this was
one way to start a meeting and invite others to join the
meeting. And now let us see how we can invite someone by using
our Google Calendar. So I open a new window, and I am this call
here, I will see this message, you left the meeting. And I
close this window now I click on my application launcher. And
this time I click on calendar. So current date and current time
is highlighted in my calendar. So let us select any future
time. So I click here. And as soon as I click on this time, a
dialog box will appear. And on this I have this Ed Google meat
video conferencing. And now if I click on that, and here I have
the time 630 to 730 is the meeting time. And now I can add
guests. So in this case, I'm going to use one of my own email
account so that I could show you how it looks on the participants
site. So I typed my own email. And now it will show me the
organizer. And my second account. I can add a description
of this meeting here as well. So let me type something here Gen
meeting. And if I click on More Options, now I can set some more
options here. And the most important is this notifications.
Currently it is set to 30 minutes. So just 30 minutes
before the start of the meeting a notification will be sent to
the participants. I can change this by simply clicking on this
triangle and I can also select number of hours are days, let's
say I select one hour, and then I simply type one here. So I can
change this timing here. I can also select the color for this
event if I want. And these are some guest permissions, which
you might want to change. And when done, I can simply click
Save. And it will show me this message, would you like to send
invitations, and I will definitely say sent, and even
saved message will be displayed at the bottom. And now you open
a new window, and I logged into my participant account.
And now this is the invitation which I have got from my
organizer of the meeting account. And if I click on this
email, it shows me the details of the meeting the time, and I
can straight away join the meeting by clicking on this
link. It also shows me the participants of the meeting.
This is the organizer. And there is only one participant in this
meeting. And if I click on More details, it will give me a
recommendation for the notifications. So I have three
options either to switch to this recommendation, or dismiss this
or ask me later. So I click on this. And because I'm logging
into this account first time, so I'm getting this message that
your events, no include free video conferencing. So I click
on got it. And now as you can see that the meeting event has
been created in my calendar as well. So this is what happens on
the participant site. When you invite someone to join a
meeting, the person gets an email and an event is created in
that person's calendar. And it's very easy to join the meeting.
And what the participants have to do is simply click on this
link in the joining info section. And they will get this
email even if they don't have a Gmail account. I have already
mentioned this. So let me close these windows, the email and the
calendar windows. I also close my own calendar. And now I start
the meeting once again. So I click on application launcher
and meet and start meeting. And let me join the meeting now. And
I get this dialog box again, because this is a new meeting.
And I close this. And now I want to show you this chat feature
here. If I click on this chat, currently there are no
participants. But if there are participants and I type any
message here in this area, can you hear me for example, the
first message and I click on this, so this message will
display in this chat window so anyone can reply. And know let
us turn on these closed captions. And now if I speak
anything, it will be displayed on my screen. As you can see, so
it is a nice feature to have in Google meets. So let me turn off
this. Now if I click on these three dots, I can go fullscreen
and I can change the layout of my screen. Depending on the
number of participants, I can choose an appropriate layout for
my meeting. And this settings icon is the same as we have
discussed already. Now if for some reason you want to check
the link of the meeting or copy the link of the meeting. You can
do this in this details area. If you click here, the link is
available. So this is it about Google meet. And all you can
shedule and start a Google meeting. So this is how you can
use Google meet. And I hope that now you should be able to start
a meeting in Google meet in white others and conduct the
meeting. There will be a second video on Google meet where there
will be some participants and we will explore some further
features.
