Google Meet has a new feature that will make it easier to present at team meetings.
Whether it’s a report presentation, new team goals, or end-of-month stats, Meet makes staying dynamic easier with its latest update.
Google Meet features that improve presentations
Google Meet was adding a series of functions dedicated to improving the dynamics of presentations. The idea is that users don’t have to rely on other apps or third-party tools in a presentation, and that they have everything they need inside Meet.
For example, last year it launched a new function that allows us to select our presentation from Google Slides to integrate it directly into the Meet interface. That way, we won’t have to deal with two applications for our audience to see our presentation, since all the necessary options are provided by Google Meet.
On the other hand, the Google team wanted to provide another detail by adding the possibility of viewing the notes, without having any extra application. That is, the presenter will not only have the slides of the presentation on the screen, but also a space to have additional notes in their interaction with the audience.
Two or more users as speakers in Meet meetings
And now a third option dedicated to presentations is added with a new dynamic to add a co-presenter. Yes, have two speakers to carry out a presentation or demonstration.
To do this, it is only necessary for the main presenter to assign another from the list of participants, as you can see in the image above. An option that you will find in the menu with the three dots next to the user’s name.
When you display this menu, choose the option “Add the participant as a co-presenter”, and you will already have the functions you need to be in front of the presentation. For example, you will be able to have control over the media they are presenting, so you can pause it at any time.
And you’ll also see audience controls, slides, and other presentation options. So each presenter will be able to take the initiative to contribute to the dissertation, without having to depend on the other, just as if it were a face-to-face meeting.
One detail to keep in mind is that this function will not be available to users with personal Google accounts, since it is intended for work teams.
