 Hello everybody! In this video, I'm going to tell you how to organize a video conference with a free tool – Google Meet. Recently, Google made this video conferencing service free for all users. As we know, previously, Google Meet was only available to subscribers of G Suite Enterprise, but now it is free for anyone so that people can keep in touch in these troubled times. To start using it, you need to have a Google account and you'll be able to join video meetings. Google developers say they are going to limit the time of such meetings to 60 minutes, but by now you can have them as long as you like. In our channel and blog, you will find solutions to any problem from installing an operating system or configuring it to fix impossible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos or articles. So, let's have a closer look at Google Meet. As I said before, you need a Google account to use the service. On computers, it runs in a browser. Google Meet is fully supported by Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. On the other hand, Internet Explorer supports only some features. If you use a smartphone or tablet PC for video conferences, this tool can be downloaded from Google Play. I will leave the link in the description under the video. Before you start working, let Google Meet access your camera and microphone. Open the main page of the service and click to allow it. If there is no access request for you have blocked it before, click on the icon saying that the camera is blocked and choose the option to always let the service access the camera and microphone. After that, you will join the video conference automatically. If the settings have not been updated, rejoin the meeting or start your browser and join the meeting again. To start a video meeting, click Start a meeting or enter a meeting code if you need to join a meeting which is already in progress. Also, you can schedule a future meeting in Google Clienta.
