PLEASE NOTE: The videochat is only available from 9 to 10 PM Eastern on Sundays.
If you use it at any other time, you'll just sit in the "waiting area" until then. But, hey, you do you.
Some important points:
If you use it at any other time, you'll just sit in the "waiting area" until then. But, hey, you do you.
- If nobody logs in by 9:05 PM, I'll end the meeting.
- You'll find it much easier to use a large screen than a small screen.
- To that end, yes, the videochat will look different on a phone than it will on a desktop or laptop monitor. That's just common sense.
- As with any videochat system, you'll want a fairly fast Internet connection, because the more people who are in the chat, the more bandwidth it takes. You may find your connection degrading if it's not fast enough. Nothing I can do about that; sorry. Turning off your camera may help.
- You may be asked if you want to allow the site to access your mic and camera. If you want to be heard and seen, click Allow microphone and camera
- Speaking of cameras... You are under no obligation to turn on your camera. Ever.
- For information on how to navigate the Google Meet screens, see their support page.
