Grid View for Google Meet and Google Hangouts
00:06
as an administrator helping other
00:07
teachers use technology in their
00:10
classroom so what we’re gonna look at
00:13
today is we’re gonna look at grid view
00:14
it’s a an extension created and we’ll go
00:18
into the information but what this
00:20
allows you to do is it allows you to
00:22
view your entire class or your entire
00:24
group in your Google me discussion so
00:28
currently we can only see four people in
00:31
a meeting excuse me even if we change it
00:34
to a different view if you go down here
00:36
and you hover here and change it to a
00:39
different layout if you go to the
00:41
sidebar layout you’re still only gonna
00:43
be able to see four other people on this
00:45
side so what grid view allows you to do
00:48
is it allows you to see everybody in
00:50
your meeting and what they’re doing and
00:52
the great thing about this is right as
00:54
if you’re a classroom teacher and you’re
00:55
meeting with you know maybe half your
00:57
class or you have open office hours and
00:59
nine or ten people 9 or 10 students come
01:02
in to the meeting you want to be able to
01:04
see all of them and the reason why is
01:05
you can see if people are raising their
01:06
hand or if they have a question or if
01:08
they have a comment you can see
01:10
everybody in the same view so how we’re
01:12
going to do that is we’re gonna grab
01:14
this Google Chrome extension here so I’m
01:18
gonna open up a new window and I’m just
01:21
gonna type in Google meat grid-view
01:27
there it is right there great extension
01:32
and it’s right there it’s the top one
01:34
right there we’re gonna give the shout
01:39
out right now this is created by Ryan
01:44
Meyers and here’s all the information
01:50
here so what we’re gonna do is we’re
01:54
just going to add this to Chrome and
01:55
this little icon right here is going to
01:57
pop up in our extensions you can see a
01:58
lot of the other extensions I have here
02:00
but this is gonna pop up into our
02:02
extension tab so if we click add to
02:04
Chrome we’re gonna add the extension
02:06
it’s gonna pop up right there you’ll be
02:09
able to see it’s telling you everything
02:10
that’s going to do now if we come back
02:14
to our meet here and I’m gonna refresh
02:18
this page I’m gonna come back in the
02:22
meeting mute myself I’m gonna join now
02:26
you’ll notice I have a new icon up here
02:29
and as of right now the extension is
02:34
turned off so I’m still only seeing
02:36
those four people right once I click on
02:39
it I am going to be able to see
02:42
everybody in this view and I can include
02:45
myself in the grid I can highlight
02:48
speakers so whoever’s talking there’s a
02:51
big orange box or a yellow or green box
02:53
depending on what you want comes around
02:55
the people that are speaking I can also
02:58
limit it to people that are only have
03:00
videos so if somebody’s just in the
03:02
meeting maybe they’re on their phone
03:03
driving and they have the video turned
03:05
off it’s not going to show them in that
03:08
grid view now I’m gonna show you what
03:10
this looks like and this is be a little
03:12
bit meta so if I add another window here
03:17
let’s take the meeting information
03:20
you’ll see what will happen is I’m gonna
03:22
pop up in this bottom right-hand corner
03:24
