Have you ever been in a situation where you had to give permission to present in a Google Meet? I have experienced it myself and I’m here to lend a hand!
Granting Permission to Present in Google Meet
Google Meet is a powerful tool for online meetings, presentations, and collaboration. However, by default, participants are not allowed to present their screen. Only the meeting organizer or someone with presenter rights can share their screen with others. But don’t worry, I’ll guide you through the process of granting permission to present in Google Meet.
Step 1: Start or Join a Google Meet
The first step is to start or join a Google Meet session. You can do this by opening Google Meet in a web browser or using the Google Meet app on your mobile device. If you’re joining an existing meeting, make sure you have the meeting link or code handy.
Step 2: Join as a Presenter
Once you’re in the meeting, the next step is to join as a presenter. To do this, click on the “Present now” button located at the bottom-right corner of the meeting window. This will open a menu with different presentation options.
From the menu, select “A window” or “Chrome Tab” to share a specific application or tab, respectively. If you want to share your entire screen, choose the “Your entire screen” option. Keep in mind that sharing your entire screen may display sensitive information, so be cautious.
After selecting the desired presentation option, click on the “Share” button to start sharing your screen with others in the meeting.
Step 3: Grant Screen Sharing Permission
When you try to share your screen for the first time in a Google Meet session, you may be prompted to grant permission to share your screen. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized screen sharing.
To grant permission, click on the “Share Screen” button in the permission prompt. This will open the settings menu where you can enable screen sharing.
From the settings menu, make sure the “Allow” option is selected for screen sharing. You may also have the option to choose whether you want to share your entire screen or just a specific application or tab.
After selecting the desired screen sharing options, click on the “Done” button to save your settings.
Step 4: Present and Collaborate
Now that you have granted permission to present in Google Meet, you can start sharing your screen and collaborate with others. You can share your entire screen, a specific application, or a tab depending on your needs.
While presenting, you can also use other features in Google Meet, such as the chat, Q&A, and polling options. These features can enhance collaboration and engagement during your presentation.
