Technical Tips to Enhance Your Virtual Experience

Check out the information below or utilize the Google Meet help center to ensure a strong virtual experience. If you are experiencing issues with this event, you can also email google-research-events@google.com during the event to get support from our team.

Joining the event: Google Meet video conferencing links, along with your personalized agenda will be sent to your inbox a day or two before the event. Most browsers will work for Google Meet, but you will need a gmail account to access. Prior to joining, allow Meet to access your camera and microphone.

During the event: We ask that all attendees mute themselves initially to avoid any background noise and we encourage (but don’t require) you to keep your video on. There are several features that will improve your event experience:

  • Turn on captions: This also helps if your wifi is spotty.

  • Change the layout: There are several options, you may want to switch between "tiled view" (to see most attendees) and "spotlight view" (to see the speakers) throughout the event.

  • Chat: Feel free to use the chat feature to share reactions and ask questions during the roundtable event.
