Start and join video meetings with Meet

Meet gives your team video meetings in the browser. You can start one in a click, keep permanent rooms for regular meetings and invite people from outside the workspace.

Note: Meet needs a meeting service that your provider sets up for the workspace. If you see a notice that it is not running, you can start and schedule meetings once your administrator or provider has it running.

Start or join a meeting

1. Open Meet.
2. Choose New meeting to start one straight away, or type a meeting code (it looks like abc-defg-hij) or a link into Meeting code or link and choose Join.
3. On the join screen, check your Camera and Microphone, then join.

Rooms you create, and the workspace's permanent rooms, are listed under Rooms. Share a room's link with colleagues.

Create a room

1. Choose Create a room.
2. Enter a Room name, for example Weekly standup.
3. Choose the options:
   • Permanent room (listed for everyone in the workspace)
   • Allow guests from outside the workspace
   • Guests wait in the lobby until a host admits them
   • Allow the host to record (saved to their Drive)
4. Choose Create.

Rooms are marked Instant, Scheduled or Permanent.

Guests

People outside your workspace use the room's guest link, and they enter their name before joining. If you kept the lobby on, they wait there until a host lets them in. Hosts see the waiting people under People, with a count on the button.

In the meeting

• Chat sends messages to everyone in the meeting. They are not saved after it ends.
• People shows who is present, who has a hand up and who is muted.
• Raise hand or Lower hand signals you want to speak.
• Speaker or Grid switches the layout.
• Notes (for workspace members) lets you type notes for the meeting and add follow-up cards to a task board.
• Record starts a recording, if the host allowed it. The recording is saved to the host's Drive when it is ready and appears under Recordings, where you can Open in Drive.
• End for all ends the meeting for everyone. Use it only as the host.

Tips

• Test your camera and microphone on the join screen before an important call.
• Keep the lobby on for rooms that guests use.
• Use a permanent room for recurring team meetings so the link never changes.

Common problems

• "A meeting code looks like abc-defg-hij." The code you typed is not in that format. Paste the full link instead.
• I cannot record. The host must allow recording when creating the room, and recording needs Drive to be switched on.
• My camera is not found. Allow camera access in your browser and pick the right device on the join screen.
