If you need to start a video call at a moment's notice, you can open Google Meet and hit New meeting > Start an instant meeting—or you can simply type meet.new into your browser. This link automatically launches a meeting; no additional clicks needed. From here, you'll see a pop-up window with the option to send invites or copy the meeting link to share.
Enable captions and translation on live calls so you can turn off audio
Settings > Captions, select Language of the meeting, and toggle Translated captions on. Then select the language you want captions translated to. While live captions are a standard Google Meet feature (also available in many languages), translation is currently limited to select Business and Enterprise Workspace editions.
Before a meeting, you'll see this option in Settings. To turn it on once you're in a meeting, go to More options > Settings > Audio and turn on Noise cancellation. (The process is similar across desktop, Android, and iOS.) Device-based noise cancellation is available to all Android users, while cloud-based noise cancellation works on mobile and desktop for those on specific Google Workspace plans.
Use picture-in-picture to multitask during meetings without giving yourself away
Open picture-in-picture. You can then move or resize the UI to your liking.
Stop merging your audio. An alternative is companion mode, which allows attendees to join on their own devices to facilitate participation, which are then paired to meeting room hardware running the audio and video. This feature is available to Google Workspace users.
Use Google Slides to invite people to present with you
Meeting chats can be unwieldy for engaging participants and collecting feedback, especially if there are hundreds of attendees. Instead, use Meet's polls feature, which prompts participants to vote on responses. This can be used for icebreaker questions at the beginning of a call, to coordinate upcoming meeting times, to solicit input on future topics, or to get a scaled rating of a presentation. Meeting moderators can create pools under Meeting tools > Polls > Start a poll. Type in the prompt and responses, then click Launch (or Save if you want to use it later in the meeting). You can allow participants to vote anonymously with the Responses appear without names toggle.
Turn on attendance tracking and use it to send follow-ups
In a typical virtual meeting, participants use a "Raise Hand" button to get in line to speak. But if Google Meet's gesture detection feature is enabled, you can raise your hand by literally raising your hand. This can make your class or meeting feel a little more natural—though, of course, chaos may ensue if students or attendees use gesture detection just for fun. Hosts can turn on gesture detection in live meetings under More options > Settings > Reactions. A few things to be aware of with this feature, though: It only works when one hand is visible and raised away from your face and body, and it's disabled if you're actively speaking. You can't lower a hand with a gesture, either; instead, you'll click the Hand raise button. Gesture detection is available for users with Workspace, Business, and Enterprise accounts, as well as Teaching and Learning Upgrade customers.
Use “take notes for me” to create a searchable archive of meeting summaries
Google Workspace users have access to various Gemini features in Meet, including "take notes for me," which automatically captures and summarizes meeting notes in a Google Doc. After the call ends, the document is saved in the organizer's Drive and attached to the Google Calendar event for attendees to reference. This makes meeting summaries easily searchable, so you can quickly find notes of what was discussed and during which call. As the organizer, you can enable this feature before the meeting and via the calendar invite, or you can turn it on once you join by tapping the Take notes for me Gemini icon at the top-right of your screen and selecting Start taking notes.
