Viewing Your Meet While Presenting, Part 2 - Dualless

Viewing Your Meet While Presenting Your Screen

 The full Google Meet update hasn't taken effect as of this post, but at least the Host Controls have, so no more worrying about who's getting into your Meets. The new toggle switch even keeps out phone callers, which had been one way folks were suffering "incursions". Here's 85 seconds on it, as a quick overview.

Google Meet Transcription Tool/Extension

Recording the Spoken Transcript of Google Meets w/o "Credits"

Viewing Your Meet While Presenting, Part 2 - Dualless

 Here's a great tool for backing up what goes on in Google Meets. Tactiq Transcriptions uses the Closed Captions from any Google Meet and turns everything anyone says into a transcript of the entire audio portion of the Meet. It's like having a personal stenographer next to you in every session! Super cool tool for keeping a record of what gets said by whom, and when, in every Google Meet. Saves to your Google Drive, so it's easy to find.

 This is a review/how-to manual of just the Breakout Room piece of the "Google Meet Attendees & Breakout Rooms" Chrome extension, and how to make it work for you in your virtual classroom, for comparison with the Hudektech Breakout Rooms Chrome extension, reviewed in a separate video. You should load the Hudektech extension either way, since it adds a button to each Meet which lets you turn off the audio, which is necessary any time you are doing Breakout Rooms, so you can listen to each Meet separately.
