Google Meet has become a widely used video conferencing tool for enabling productive dialogue between students and educators. Nonetheless, occasionally, maintaining concentration during discussions can be challenging because of ambient noise or disruptions caused by fellow attendees. This article will guide you on how to silence a participant on Google Meet when you’re a student.
Step 1: Join the Meeting
To start, you need to join the meeting by clicking on the link provided by your teacher or host. Once you are in the meeting, you will see all the participants and their video feeds.
Step 2: Find the Mute Button
To mute someone on Google Meet, you need to find the mute button. Look for the microphone icon in the bottom left corner of your screen. Click on it and select “Mute” from the drop-down menu.
Step 3: Select the Participant
Once you have selected “Mute,” a list of participants will appear. Find the participant whose audio you want to mute and click on their name. This will mute their microphone, and they will no longer be able to speak in the meeting.
Step 4: Unmute the Participant
If you want to unmute the participant later, simply repeat the process and select “Unmute” from the drop-down menu. This will allow them to speak again in the meeting.
Conclusion
Muting someone on Google Meet is a simple process that can help you focus on the conversation and avoid distractions. By following these steps, you can effectively mute or unmute participants as needed during your meetings.
