#:<pre>Google Meet has an built-in chat function available to anyone who is part of the conference session. Participants need only click the square “chat bubble” icon on the top, right-hand corner of the screen, and a chat drawer opens on the right-hand side; they can then type comments or questions into the chat which are then visible to everyone else in the conference. This chat function is particularly useful for fielding questions during an online class session, where it can serve as a virtual way for a student to raise their hand. If a teacher simply keeps the chat window open during the video-conference, a student can type a question into the chat which the teacher can answer at an opportune moment.</pre> | #:<pre>Google Meet has an built-in chat function available to anyone who is part of the conference session.

#::To share your screen while in a Meet video-conference, move your cursor (arrow) to the bottom of the screen until the bottom “drawer” appears, then click on the “Present Now” button. You will then be presented with a menu asking you whether you would like to present the “Entire Screen” or just a “Window”. Make a selection (Window or Entire Screen), and then click on the window (or full screen) that you would like to share. Note: If you are using Mac OS Catalina (10.15), you will need to authorize “Screen Recording” in your system preferences before the screen sharing feature will work. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording, and authorize Google Chrome (or whatever browser you are using). | #::To share your screen while in a Meet video-conference, move your cursor (arrow) to the bottom of the screen until the bottom “drawer” appears, then click on the “Present Now” button.
