  • Google Meet & YouTube Live

    Google Meet and YouTube Live are alternatives to Zoom Meetings that are supported by GCC IT.

    • This page give the method for sharing your screen while also seeing the participants in your meeting. This does require two devices.

    • We cannot initiate calls to landlines from Google Meet or Zoom, but others can call in to meetings we have created. Open this page to see how landlines can call in to your Zoom meeting.

    • A video conferencing tool available through G Suite. Students can access this tool as part of their GCC email account. Faculty and staff need to activate their Google accounts. (If you have forgotten you G Suite credentials or never received them, submit a help ticket and you will get an "activate your account" link in your GCC email soon. This link must be activated within 48 hours).

    • Answers to some questions that have arisen regarding Google Meet.

    • Users can change how the images are displayed during a Google Meet.

    • One of the complaints about Google Meet is that one cannot see all of the participants one one screen. This page takes you through the steps of adding a Chrome extension call "Google Meet Grid View" which add this capability. 

      Many thanks to the student who suggested this extension to their instructor and to that instructor who passed it along!
