Tips and Tricks

If you are seeing this image, it means that the teacher has not started the meet yet, and you need to try again. Students cannot join a GoogleMeet until a teacher has logged in.

Make sure you have allowed your microphone and camera to be enabled on your device so you can participate in the class Meeting

Be sure to mute your microphone when you are not speaking! This cuts down on distracting noise.

Keep your home life private. Participate in Google Meets by sitting with your back to a wall if possible. This prevents distractions that could happen in the background and any surprise guests from being visible.
