Google Meet Grid View

This is a great extension for google hangout "Google Meet Grid View " we have been trialing it in our daily hangouts and it is a great way to view everyone in the hangout. Here are the instructions on how to install it.

Installation

To install the "Google Meet Grid View" extension do the following:

• Go to the extension's page in the Chrome Web Store - "Google Meet Grid View"

• Click the "Add to Chrome" button to install the extension.

• Give it permission to install.

• And then that is it! The extension will now show up in the top right corner of your web browser.

Using Grid View

Now that the Grid View extension is installed, anytime you are in a Google Meet you will now see a new button in the top right corner of the Meet window (next to the "People" and "Chat" button).

Simply click on this button to turn Grid View on or off. Once you turn it on you will now see all of the participants in the meeting.

There are a few options you can adjust in the drop-down menu below the button.

• "Only show participants with video" - If you check this box then Grid View will not show anyone who has turned off their webcam or who doesn't have a camera to begin with.

• "Highlight speakers" - If you check this box then anytime someone is speaking, a yellow box will appear around their them in the grid. This can help make it easier to see who is talking.

• "Include yourself in the grid" - You can check or uncheck this if you want to see yourself as well or not.

Note: Keep in mind, this extension is only changing the view for you, and not for the other people in the meeting. Each person controls their own view. For other people in the meeting to see the grid, they also need to install the extension one time, and then they can turn the Grid View on or off for themselves.

Google Meet Grid View is a great extension to help everyone in a meeting or classroom feel like they are more connected with the group.
