If you’re someone who prefers to keep the microphone and camera disabled on their PC, you might relate to this: You join an official meeting and proceed to attend it, only to realize that you didn’t enable microphone access when you’re supposed to speak. To help troubleshoot such connectivity issues, Google Meet has recently added a ‘green room’ where you can check if your camera, microphone, speaker, and internet connection are working as intended. Here’s how you can use the feature.
- To access the green room, open Google Meet, and head to the waiting room. If you’re invited to a meeting, clicking on the invite link will give you access to this space. On the other hand, if you’re organizing the meeting, creating a new meeting brings the waiting room.
