We give you guys a quick guide to using Google Meet
The bare minimum you need to start Google Meet is a Gmail account.
Last month, Google finally rebadged its video conferencing platform, Hangouts Meet, to simply Google Meet. On top of that, it also added a bunch of new features like a 16-grid layout. All these features couldn’t have come at a better time. With most of the world stuck at home due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, a lot of professionals have no other option but to turn to video conferencing apps to coordinate with their teammates as well a family. Google Meet has also been made free for users from May onwards, which should be of great help for those working from home.
Keeping this in mind, here is a quick look at how to start a meeting using Google Meet.
