• Limit the number of open tabs
• Do not use any 3rd party extensions for Google Meet (ex: Attendance, Grid View)
• Use the Spotlight layout to view the speaker in the Meet
• When presenting a page with video and/or audio, use Present > A Chrome Tab
• Participants should mute audio immediately prior to joining the Google Meet
• Place Chromebook on a hard surface like a counter or table. If you place it on a soft surface like a bed or blanket it can get very hot.

Troubleshooting

• If students indicate they are having trouble with audio and video cutting out, have them Change Layout to Spotlight. This will limit the video to the person talking rather than viewing 15-30 other videos. This could also limit distractions and would better focus the student on the person speaking at that time. Watching what is happening in the background of every student's home could be very distracting for some curious students.
• Check to make sure students are near their WiFi access point
• You can have students do a speed test and see if their network is okay. Just Google "speed test" and click the blue button Run Speed Test.
