Allow browser permissions

The first time you join, the browser asks for camera and microphone access. Choose Allow so other participants can hear and see you.

If the browser blocks access, use the camera or lock icon in the address bar to allow permissions for the Meet site.

During the call

Use the toolbar to mute your microphone, turn your camera on or off, share your screen, open chat, and leave the room.

Before joining

Check these items before a planned meeting:

  • Your camera preview looks correct.
  • The right microphone is selected.
  • The right speaker or headphones are selected.
  • Browser notifications or noisy tabs are closed.
