Meetings

Create and join Meet meetings, use the meeting areas on the map, share your screen and record sessions.

For scheduled talks or larger groups, use Meet: meetings with video, audio and screen sharing without leaving Team Connect. There are two ways to bring the team together: Meet sessions, opened from the sidebar, and meeting areas drawn right on the map.

Create a meeting

  1. In the sidebar, click Meet.
  2. Under Team meetings, in the Create session card, give the meeting a Name (for example, Quick meeting).
  3. Click Create. You join the room right away.

If you are alone, You're the first one here shows up with a Copy invite button. Send the link to your team: whoever opens it lands in Team Connect with the meeting already selected.

From your calendar

If your Google Calendar is connected, open Calendar, find the event and click Create Meet. The session is tied to the event and stays open while the event is happening, even if everyone steps out for a moment.

Join a meeting

  1. Click Meet in the sidebar.
  2. The list shows the open sessions. Click one to select it. You see the Current participants and the Session link.
  3. Click Enter.

An instant meeting ends on its own when the last person leaves.

During the meeting

The meeting's control bar has:

  • Microphone and Camera, to turn them on and off;
  • Share screen and Stop sharing: the shared screen is shown large to everyone;
  • Blur background, to blur what is behind you (only with the camera on and in supported browsers);
  • Chat, to send messages to the people in the meeting;
  • Leave call.

At the top of the room, an indicator shows whether you are live and how many people are connected. While you are in a meeting, your status shows as busy.

Meeting areas on the map

The map can have meeting areas, such as a meeting room. They work without an invitation:

  1. Walk into the area. That area's meeting opens on its own and you join.
  2. Everyone who walks into the same area lands in the same meeting.
  3. To leave, just walk out of the area.

While you are in a meeting area, proximity voice is paused so sounds do not mix, and the meeting controls appear in the bottom bar. Use the maximize button to enlarge the meeting and the same button again to restore its size.

These meetings do not show in the Meet list and have no invite link: only the people in the area take part. If the area is in a locked room, only people with access to the room get in.

Record a meeting

Only the meeting's organizer can record. In a meeting area, the person who opened the meeting (usually the first one to arrive) is the organizer.

  1. In the control bar, click Record session (the round icon).
  2. Every participant sees the REC indicator while recording is on, including people who join later.
  3. Click Stop recording (now a square) to stop. The recording takes a few moments to process.

When the recording is ready, the people who were in the meeting get a notice in Notifications with a View recording button. Recordings are only available to people in your company.
