Google Meet Tips
Joining calls
The easiest way to join the call is to register for the summit using a Google Account (e.g. gmail).
If you register with a non-Google Account, you will need to request to join the meeting.
Who can join video meetings?
People in your organization who can access the shared Google Calendar event details.
People outside your organization who are added to the Calendar event and have a Google Account.
People outside your organization who are invited during the meeting by a participant.
Who needs to request to join video meetings?
People outside your organization who aren't added to the Calendar event.
People who don’t have a Google Account (joining from the web only).
People outside of your organization who are using Google Workspace for Education accounts.
Someone from your organization who’s in the video meeting can grant access.
Note: A chime sounds when the first 5 people join the meeting. There’s no chime when additional people join, but you’ll see a notification in the meeting. The new participants are automatically muted.
Sharing your screen on macOS

Ensure your browser is listed and checked; you can use the + button below the list on the right to add it if necessary.
Breakout rooms
During tea time we will split into breakout rooms.
We will try to keep the breakout rooms small (around 5 people).
For those interested, we plan to have one or two topic-specific breakout rooms; everyone else will be randomly assigned to a room during each session.
You will see a prompt to join a breakout room. Click Join to move to the room.
At the end of tea time we will close all breakout rooms.
You will get a notification and have 30 seconds to finish your conversation and return to the main room.
