Google Meet
Getting used to Google Meet
To Access google Meet goto https://meet.google.com, You will after signing in with your Hwb account see the landing page as shown below (Please note that the background changes)
To Setup your Camera and Audio please click on the Cog at the top right of the screen and then you will see
Firstly we will look at the Audio section. You may or may not have a drop down arrow allowing you to choose different options (This depends on what you have attached to your computer such as a webcam with a microphone), and a headset with a Microphone would give you 2 options if you have no headset connected but have a built in Microphone you will just see the option available to you.
The Same applies to Speakers if you have just the built in laptop speakers and nothing else connected you will see only 1 option, however if you have a headset connected you will be able to select either one or the other.
With the Video option you usually will only have 1 option (The Built in Webcam)
Select and choose the right options for you then close this screen by using the X in the Right hand corner.
Next we will setup a test meeting by clicking on the "Join or Start" a meeting when you do this you will be asked to give the meeting a name (Shown Below)
just call it "Test" or similar then click on "Continue" you will then see a screen similar to that shown below: (At this point your camera will be activated and you will see your image)
The 2 Buttons Highlighted in Red will Mute or Un-Mute your Microphone and Enable or Disable your Camera
Clicking on the 3 Stacked Dots at the Right hand side of the screen will bring up the following menu as shown below
The First option of Change Background is the most commonly used and also Captions is very helpful to enable so you can see what is being said.
Clicking on the Settings option will take you back to the Same menu as shown in the second picture above where you will be able to change the Audio or Camera Settings.
