When you see the Grid View icon in your Chrome extensions, it has been installed and is ready for use.

Once it is installed, each time you participate in a Google Meet (while using Chrome) as either the host or a participant, you will see a third option has been added to the participants and chat menu in the top right.

Opening the Grid View menu displays your choices to using the grid payout.
