Want to change how you view other participants and content? You can alter your Layout easily when in a Google Meet video conference on a PC or Mac. To change your Layout during a meeting, click the More button (three vertical dots) and then Change Layout; here, you can select one of the available view types.

Auto: Allow Google Meet to choose the layout.

Tiled: Shows up to 16 people when no one is presenting. All participants appear in large tiles on the screen; the most active participants will appear to the side.

Spotlight: The current presentation or active participant will fill the window.

Sidebar: The active participant or presentation is shown in a large view, with additional participants shown to the side.

One of the perks of using Google Meet is that you can customize your resolution, a feature that other video platforms lack. When your Wi-Fi connection is poor, opt for a lower resolution. But, when the connection’s fine, a higher resolution will provide better video quality. If you’re looking to change your resolution to fit the connection better, try following these steps below:

Step 1: During a Google Meet call, click the More icon and then Settings. Then select the Video tab on the left.

Step 2: Choose if you want to change the Send or Receive Resolution — Send Resolution is what your camera will send, while the Receive Resolution is what you see from others.

Step 3: Select the resolution you wish to use from Standard Definition (360p) to High Definition (720p). For receiving, you can also pick from an Audio Only option and a Standard Definition, One Video at a Time option.
