Engaging students within Google Meet
As students join, Google Meet will choose a layout that automatically shows up to nine participants until you switch to a sidebar layout, where the currently speaking participant is shown. However, you can customize the layout between Auto, Tiled, Spotlight, and Sidebar. Google Meet will save your preferences for subsequent meetings.
To change the Meet layout, use the following steps:
- Click on the kebab menu and select Change layout:
Figure 10.21 – Change layout option in the kebab menu
- Click the radio button of the desired layout:
Figure 10.22 – Change layout dialog box
In the Change layout menu, you can adjust the number of participants to display on the screen. Whenever there are more participants than the maximum tiles to display, only the most recent tiles who spoke during the meeting will be visible. When managing my online classes, I change this setting to the highest possible number...
