New Host Controls
Google Meet has introduced several new Host Controls that you may want to take advantage of.
You’ll now be able to:
Assign up to 25 co-hosts per meeting, allowing them to access and utilize the host controls.
Use safety features to limit who can share their screen, send chat messages, mute all users and end meetings
Use the “Quick access” setting to easily control who needs to request permission to join a meeting.

Meet Layout and Tool Updates May 4, 2021
Beginning May 17 - June 1 there is a planned rollout for a new Google Meet layout. You can find that view below.
Google Meet Q & A
Google Meet Q & A
Q & A: This feature allows participants to ask a question, like you would have previously in the chat, with added functionality to show/hide questions, mark questions as answered, or delete them altogether. See the how-to video and sheet for more!
When the Meet is concluded, you'll receive a report via email and in your Drive, in folder Meeting Reports, to show responses for record keeping.

Click Translate to English in the popup that appears from Step 1.
In the URL bar, you'll now see a pop-up to choose English or you can click the three vertical dots --> choose another language to pick from the available languages via Google Translate.
1. If you want to see all of your learners at the same time while performing a Google Meet, instead of the typical 1 highlighted person that's speaking, checkout the Google Meet Grid View extension for Google Chrome. It's FREE and installs in a few clicks with no restarting involved.
2. If you are looking for whiteboard functionality during a Google Meet, I have two simple tools to share: Google Jamboard (which saves boards to your Drive for later access) and AWebWhiteboard (which does not save work for later) both of which contain a whiteboard function, text, pictures, and collaboration possibilities. Both can be open in a window and shared through the share screen feature of Google Meet to demonstrate any concept like you might through a Smartboard.
* Pro tip: Use these whiteboards on your iPad for easy writing capability which is connected to your laptop through QuickTime using this method. It'll make writing easier and you'll have the ability to also monitor your writing on the iPad screen while still keeping your Google Meet window on top to monitor the chat, etc.
Google is currently working on updates to Meet; features are being added so stay tuned for more to come!
How to Record a Google Meet on Mac
How to Record a Google Meet on Mac
When recording via Google Meet on a laptop, there is no capture/record of any of the other participants’ information; just what’s in the camera feed.
While recording, the camera feed will appear backwards to the streamer but it will show correctly for live participants and later in the recorded video.
While it is still best practice to only record the direct instruction portion of your lesson, the file sizes of recordings via Google Meet on your laptop are significantly smaller and easier to manage.

Muting individuals in a Meet can become tedious when you have to mute more than one person! While there isn't a built-in way to mute all, there is a Chrome extension for that!
