Breakout Rooms

During real-time instruction, teachers can now create breakout rooms to divide students into small groups. Breakout rooms replicate in-person learning by providing opportunities for small group instruction and student collaboration and discussion around a specific topic. Click the video on the right for a quick demo.

Present your Screen

Share higher-quality video with audio content in a Meet video call using the new Present a Chrome Tab feature. Now, when you use this feature with video content playing, everyone in the meeting will see and hear the video and audio being shared.

Present a tab and easily switch between tabs

When you present a tab, it will be highlighted so you can clearly see which one you’re presenting. If you change your view to a new tab, a pop-up will ask if you want to switch to presenting the new tab or keep presenting the previous tab, making it easy to move between tabs and control what information you share with the meeting.

Use “present a tab” to share high-quality video and audio

The high-quality video and audio playback only works when you present an individual tab feature in Chrome on desktop devices. It does not work if you’re presenting a full window or your whole screen.
