Participate Hangouts

You will receive an email from the person leading your hangout. Click on that web link in your email. (printable directions found here)

The first time you join or start a meeting, make sure to ALLOW Google Hangouts Meet to use your camera and microphone.

Then, type your name. Click Ask to Join

Once you are in the video conference, you will likely want to mute your mic so others don't hear everything from your location. (dogs barking, kids crying, etc.) When you want to talk to the group, you can turn on your mic. See images below.
