How do I manage participants during a Google Meet call?
Managing participants during a Google Meet call is essential for ensuring a smooth and productive meeting. Google Meet offers various tools and features that allow hosts to effectively oversee participants. First, the host can view the list of participants in the meeting by clicking on the "People" icon, typically found in the upper right corner of the screen. This allows the host to see who is present.
To manage participants, the host has the ability to mute individuals or all participants. This can be particularly useful in larger meetings to minimize background noise. To mute a participant, the host can simply click on the participant's name in the list and select the mute option. However, it is important to note that participants can unmute themselves when they want to speak.
If necessary, the host can also remove a participant from the meeting. This is done by selecting the participant's name and then choosing the option to remove them. Additionally, hosts can control whether participants can present their screens or share content, which is especially important in collaborative meetings.
For organizations or larger teams using Google Meet, configuration options may allow for even more control over participant interactions, helping to foster an organized meeting environment. To find more detailed information and resources, the current Google Meet web page may hold additional guidance and instructions on participant management.
