How to join our Google Meet

Either click on the above image of Google Meet or the link beside it to go to Google Meet.

You'll see the option to join using a code.

Be sure to MUTE your mic before you click join. Here you can see I have my camera turned off and have selected a background.

It is up to you whether you have your camera on. We suggest you sit with your back against a wall to maintain your home privacy. You could also change your background by clicking on this image. It will look similar to my background to the left.

Options

Below on your screen you will see the following options.

The first one is your microphone. Red indicates that it is turned off.

The second one is your camera. Red indicates that it is turned off.

The third image is a hand, which signals that you would like to speak, similar to raising your hand in class. Red means you have your hand raised.

The fourth icon is where you can present your screen. This is useful if you have created something on your chromebook you would like to share with the group.

The three dots always indicates more options.

The last one on this panel is where you can hang up, or end the online call.

Chats

Ln the right hand side, there is an option to open the chat (indicated in blue above).

This allows you to have a chat with the group, answer questions, etc.

Changing backgrounds

By clicking on the image to change your background, you can keep your home private. Others will not see what is behind you. It acts as a greenscreen and replaces your background with one of these alternatives. Have some fun with this!
