Google Meet | Companion mode is a new way to present/share your screen wirelessly to a Google Meet.
We recommend using this mode if:
- Students need to present from their Chromebook or MacBook
- The classroom’s Apple TV is not available
- You have a Google Meet and need to share content to the room and/or remote students but the HDMI cable is not available
- The room’s HDMI is not working properly or don’t have the right adapter
Getting Started
1. From the Google Meet Hardware display in the room
Start a new meeting, join an existing Google Meet link or use your own link
2. From your laptop
In Chrome, enter the short link g.co/companion or access this mode via the Technology Bookmarks > Google Workspace > Companion. Then on the Meet home screen, enter the same meeting code from the display
3. Share your screen in Companion mode
To share your screen, click Present and select A tab
NOTE: We encourage presenting a tab. This option will allow you to share audio/video seamlessly.
Keep in mind
Google Meet Speakermic is notloud enough when streaming audio/video. If you want to change the speaker output to the Epson Speakers, follow the steps below. These speakers offer higher volume and better audio quality
