Join a Meet video meeting

Check your camera and microphone, join, and use in-meeting tools.

Find your meeting

Open Meet → Meetings, or use the reminder you get 15 minutes before by default. Open the meeting and select join.

Check your devices

  1. Allow the browser to use your camera and microphone.
  2. Choose the right devices and turn the camera or microphone on or off.
  3. Join. If the host uses a lobby, select Ask to join and wait to be admitted.

During the meeting

  • Use chat, private messages, reactions, and raise your hand.
  • Share your screen if the host allows it.
  • Hosts can mute you or turn off your camera.

Meetings are not recorded. Attendance is taken automatically.

Guests

If your department allows guest links, a person without an account can join from the link and waits in the lobby until a host admits them.

Trouble connecting?

Use a current browser, check device permissions, and try turning off your camera. Video works best with about eight cameras on.
