Tips to Optimize Google Meet

1. Prep in the “greenroom”
   Now that you’re working from home, it’s important to be aware of your background. What would you like on camera, what do you want to move out of view of your colleagues? Consider using Google Meet's backgrounds or background blur for chaotic surroundings.

   • Make sure you look how you would like on camera. Decide if you would like to enter the meeting on mute or unmuted. Google Meet will automatically mute participants once multiple participants have already joined the call. This is to cut down on noise chaos and feedback.

2. Use a headset/headphones

   • Using a headset or headphones will help to cut out background noise. This will make it easier for you to hear and for others to hear you.

   • Enabling noise cancellation in Google Meet audio settings will also help reduce background noise.

3. Test your audio

   • Make sure that Google Meet is connected to the proper microphone and speakers

4. Lower video resolution
   While you may never have given a thought to bandwidth when working from an office, or even if you worked from home in the past. With more and more ppl at home, you may be competing for bandwidth. Knowing how to adjust your settings will enhance your experience

   • Video or audio delays

   • Poor network connection

   • Low battery

   • Limited data available

   • Other quality issues

5. Adjust the screen layout

   • Customize the Google Meet screen layout to your preference for viewing

6. Use chat, polls, and breakout rooms to enhance your Google Meet experience.
