And this is why I used Zoom for distance learning. There are no complicated directions or finagling involved. When I share my screen, I can still see my students and they can still see me. This is super important when dealing with students who have disabilities.
But how do you show your desk. People have different needs I guess. One would need to Share a document or if it is art show the desk with hands drawing while showing screen and face. Etc
Similar to the third point, you can use split screen mode to have the meet on one side and your presentation on the other. Windows Key (or Command on Mac) plus the left and right arrow keys with your window selected.
Thank you so much ! I struggled today when I was presenting a lesson! I felt that zoom is doing a better job than google meets. But our district doesn't support it!
I really like your video. Even I haven't finished watching it completely, I want to say thank you for the clear and calm voice. I am tired of people presenting in a rush as if they all had Red bull drink.
GREAT VIDEO -- I have seen too many other videos that don't *show* what the user sees behind the desk (they just show a screen and say, "This is what __ sees."). This video starts right from the beginning and shows a photo of actual monitors sitting on a desk, and has a very clear set of explanations that anyone can follow. Thanks!
Great video! For the third option, you can close your chat and have everybody on the sidebar (this is one of the scheme options) and you'll be able to see their faces without having to go from one window to the other. If you see any of the students typing you can open the chat again to see if they have any questions.
Your explanations are so easy to follow! I can totally tell you’re a great teacher in the way you break everything down and the inflection in your voice! Thank you! I just subscribed!
Eric...you do an amazing job explaining everything in your videos. You are by far my favorite Google presenter! I love Meets and your videos help me learn so much!
So I have 2 laptops and logged in to my google meet just like you said. When I present my screen, my second laptop shows the presentation and I can only see about 4 students. Basically I am seeing what my students are seeing. What am I doing wrong ?
My gosh thank you so much for sharing! My school switched from Zoom to Google meets for distance learning and not being able to see my students when sharing my screen was the big thing I was concerned about. This is definitely going to come in useful.
This didn't work for me. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I dragged my content window to a separate monitor. When I present, instead of just seeing my students, on half of the screen, I see the present window. I can only see a limited number of kids. Please help.
Well done Eric - this was just the fix I needed for monitoring my chat while presenting to my class. Super helpful! Oh and you're a really good teacher too.
Thanks for option 3 Your content was related in such a way that I could understand. The demonstration was straight forward. The tone of voice used helped to calm my nerves and settled me. Overall the goal of using Google classroom efficiently now appears to be within my reach. 👍🏻❤️
I really liked the way you combined all three methods in one video. Brilliant and very easy to understand and follow. I use the second method as I have been given a Samsung Tablet A from work. I use it as the portable item to do more with my own single desktop and a 27" monitor. I even tried to have a laptop that is lent to me as the third device, but my bandwidth could not handle 4 people at home on 6 devices. I hadn't thought of the 3rd method because I have had extra devices to use. But it makes sense resizing and moving the windows to be able to see more, especially if one has a lot of real estate in a large monitor. If I lose my 2nd or 3rd device, I will use the 3rd method.
You are doing such a great job with these videos. They are so easy to follow and they always seem to come right on time, just one day after I ask the question: "How do I.....?" With option 2, I find I get significant screeching and sound feedback even if I mute the microphone on the second device. iPad with chromebook. Is there a sound setting I should be turning off or on to avoid this? I found an old monitor and am using option 1 now and it is working great, but I am helping many teachers who don't have a second monitor and have tried option 2 to no avail due to the screeching audio feedback loop. Thanks for helping!!
Thank you Eric! Your presentation is easy to follow. I have been trying to figure out how to see my students while trying to work on flashcards, etc. and now I know the best option for me is to login with a different device. Thank you again!
I really love your presentations, everything looks so easy with your great and clear explanations. Thank you very much. This particular video had helped me so much with the screen presentation, nobody else explained how to do it. Thank you so much. I will watched again and again until I mastered before we go back to school.
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! I'm now using 3 devices: one to teach/present, the second to see my students and the third as a camera to show them what Im writing in real time.
Does anyone have issues with feedback when logging into the same meeting using a different device? Even when I mute the mic I have issues. Suggestions?
You need to mute the mic and the speakers on the second device. You are getting the feedback from your main device picking up the volume coming out of the speakers on the second device.
Thank you so much. I had thought about using 2 monitors was not quite sure how it worked but your video really helped to explain. Thank you and I will be sharing it with my colleagues.
Thank you.Power to the teachers.We can keep an eye on those with questions and valuable contributions while keeping an eye on the troublemakers who might think we can't see who's disrupting or typing foolishness in the chat.Thank you Sir.
Thank you so much! I like Google Meet because it doesn't have a time limit but not seeing my students when presenting is really hard. So glad I found your video!
Excellent Eric! Brilliantly explained. We are all using it here to teach and you have fixes to some of the issues we have come across. Generally our pupils are working really well with their remote learning which is great news. Many thanks.
These videos are fantastic! Thank you for all of the hard work that you put into making them! Here is a question regarding this video: You could also snap your Meet tab to, say, the left half of the screen, and your content tab to the right half of the screen, could you not? Splitting your screen that way? It's not ideal, but it could be done, am I right?
The video is well made and explained. But I have to agree to comments about Zoom doing a better job than Google Meet. This switch between monitors and screens and log into another device is a little way too much. How about you'll just rather bring in updates in Google Meet to help see video tabs of participants/students while presenting. Easier solution, ain't it?
Thank you very much!! I've been looking for some creative solutions instead of downloading and intalling a bunch of extensions that don't work properly and frustate me, so kudos!!
wWhen I mute the second device, there is still feedback, and loud echoing coming through the first device. The only way it doesn't happen is if I mute both, which doesn't work because I have to speak while presenting screen with students.
Wow you really are one of a kind... Nice video! But hey, I have a question Is there an option to disable the camera of all members of aa call and if there isint do you think Google will add this option?
If you're in a domain that can be set as the default in the Admin console when they join the chat - I've set all our students to have no video when joining a Meet for example. They can turn it back on, but that way it's at least off when everyone joins.
I’m getting a lot of feedback by joining with my IPad to the meeting. This is true if I turn off volume, etc at the device level and the app. ANy thoughts anyone?
Thanks so far your video the only one that’s showing how to keep that “connection” with people you are video conferencing with. I definitely would go option 2! Thanks! U got a like from me! 👍😁 I wonder whats the view for the audience when you’re presenting? Will they be able to see everyone else too?
This was so helpful! I wanted to know if there is a way to present my screen with myself pinned, or a second window of some kind, to ensure my students all see what I am teaching large on their screen while still keeping an eye on them ? I keep trying to different ways but nothing seems to work.
This is SO helpful!!! I would not have thought to call the same meeting from a different device!!! Thanks a bundle from a fellow DCSD teacher : ) Your voice and great expression make the videos even more engaging!!!
These are helpful. I may try connecting a little TV monitor to my laptop at some point. I'm looking for something similar to the third option (no extra monitor). The problem I'm having is that when I use the 3rd option, students cannot see the screen I am sharing well, it is too small. I have to make my presentation full screen so they can see, but then I can't see them. I'm looking for a solution to this issue!
Help! The Grid View extension is gone. What now? Google has grid view but not without the presentation showing that I can find. My students have all learned hand signals vigilantly and now I can only see 12 of them at a time! Crisis mode happening to this teacher over here.
This is wonderful. I am doing option two, two devices. When I present though, I am seeing myself present on the other screen on not just everyone on the screen. HELP!
Great videos! I have referred to them many times since starting distance teaching. I see that it's been asked her twice- is there a setting or a fix for the significant screeching and sound feedback even when you turn off the mic of the second device when using the 2nd option?
It was so much better when I was able to see what I was presenting on one screen with all of my students on the left in grid view. Two weeks ago, it changed to not allowing grid view anylonger and not being able to see what I am presenting. It's very frustrating to present to my students since 2 weeks ago.
Hi Eric. Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful in the world of distance learning. I tried to use my iMac and my MacBook at the same time. onto present and the other to watch. the kids. I turned the audio off on the MacBook and aimed to present on the IMac. I got terrible feedback. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong. I have a district supplied Chromebook, but it's so small to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated
And this is why I used Zoom for distance learning. There are no complicated directions or finagling involved. When I share my screen, I can still see my students and they can still see me. This is super important when dealing with students who have disabilities.

Eric, you have SUCH a great teacher voice. Your passion for teaching comes through even with this tutorial. : )
Similar to the third point, you can use split screen mode to have the meet on one side and your presentation on the other. Windows Key (or Command on Mac) plus the left and right arrow keys with your window selected.
I've come back to this video about 3 times this year when things go wrong...thank you so much! From a frazzled old-school teacher. :)
Thank you so much ! I struggled today when I was presenting a lesson! I felt that zoom is doing a better job than google meets. But our district doesn't support it!
absolutely

Absolutely clear! I have sat through four or five hyper computer geek types trying to explain this. watched this video once and violla, many thanks
I love your videos! I'm a teacher in a french school. I'd like to use your 3 ways to see your students and make a french video for my coworkers.
Your explanations are so easy to follow! I can totally tell you’re a great teacher in the way you break everything down and the inflection in your voice! Thank you! I just subscribed!
Eric...you do an amazing job explaining everything in your videos. You are by far my favorite Google presenter! I love Meets and your videos help me learn so much!
After watching tons of videos your tutorial was the BEST breakdown on how to share screen . Thx so much 😌
This is the cleverest thing I've ever seen! And if Imanage to pull this off, I'll be just as clever💪🏾 Thank you!
So I have 2 laptops and logged in to my google meet just like you said. When I present my screen, my second laptop shows the presentation and I can only see about 4 students. Basically I am seeing what my students are seeing. What am I doing wrong ?
Move the mouse over the presentation in the second laptop and unpin it.
Wow. You have done a great job of fixing Google's problems. I like Google, but why can't they make it easy like Zoom does?
My gosh thank you so much for sharing! My school switched from Zoom to Google meets for distance learning and not being able to see my students when sharing my screen was the big thing I was concerned about. This is definitely going to come in useful.
This is such a great video, I was trying to figure out how to monitor the chat area while teaching and only have one device. Thanks
Very elegant solutions. I can use my laptop now to see my students while teaching. Thanks Eric!
This didn't work for me. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I dragged my content window to a separate monitor. When I present, instead of just seeing my students, on half of the screen, I see the present window. I can only see a limited number of kids. Please help.
Well done Eric - this was just the fix I needed for monitoring my chat while presenting to my class. Super helpful! Oh and you're a really good teacher too.
Thank you! I'm glad I FINALLY found someone who can answer my question!
Thanks for option 3
Your content was related in such a way that I could understand. The demonstration was straight forward. The tone of voice used helped to calm my nerves and settled me.
Overall the goal of using Google classroom efficiently now appears to be within my reach. 👍🏻❤️
The last one with one monitor helped so much. Thanks!

You should connect your earphones to the second device so that it doesn't make that noise.
Thank You!! Your videos are so helpful. I'm a teacher teaching online and on google meet
is all new to me. Thank you so much!!

I had no clue had to even get started thank you for a great presentation

simple, clear and organized tutorial but so helpful..thank you sir.

You need to mute the mic and the speakers on the second device. You are getting the feedback from your main device picking up the volume coming out of the speakers on the second device.
I have the same problem- I'm muted on the iPad but still hear the "echo" on my computer I'm logged into. Did you ever find a solution?
Thanks for making our 'new normal' a bit more manageable.
Thank you so much. I had thought about using 2 monitors was not quite sure how it worked but your video really helped to explain. Thank you and I will be sharing it with my colleagues.
Incredibly helpful....now let’s see. Easy to listen to for this old gal 🙏🏻
Thank you.Power to the teachers.We can keep an eye on those with questions and valuable contributions while keeping an eye on the troublemakers who might think we can't see who's disrupting or typing foolishness in the chat.Thank you Sir.
Thank you so much! I like Google Meet because it doesn't have a time limit but not seeing my students when presenting is really hard. So glad I found your video!
Great job! I'm now using a laptop and Chromebook and it works beautifully!
I only have one device, so I'll be trying option 3. Many thanks for sharing these tips!
I appreciate this video! I was also struggling to see and engage my students while presenting and this was very helpful. Thank you!
This whole series is very helpful. Great instructional design. Thank you!
Thank you so much, this is so helpful! It seems to me that that Zoom and Skype are easier to use for teaching: no double screens, no double devices
Excellent Eric! Brilliantly explained. We are all using it here to teach and you have fixes to some of the issues we have come across. Generally our pupils are working really well with their remote learning which is great news. Many thanks.
I wish this worked with more than 16 students! Very clear video though.
Thank you Eric! So detailed and clear, loved it!
These videos are fantastic! Thank you for all of the hard work that you put into making them! Here is a question regarding this video: You could also snap your Meet tab to, say, the left half of the screen, and your content tab to the right half of the screen, could you not? Splitting your screen that way? It's not ideal, but it could be done, am I right?
Thanks, man. That was a big help for me, coming over from Zoom.
You are amazing. I usually don’t understand things but u make it easy
I have a second monitor now but would love a third. Thanks for the tips......very useful.
The video is well made and explained. But I have to agree to comments about Zoom doing a better job than Google Meet. This switch between monitors and screens and log into another device is a little way too much. How about you'll just rather bring in updates in Google Meet to help see video tabs of participants/students while presenting. Easier solution, ain't it?
Great job! Very comprehensive. I love how you walked us through the examples.
Thank you very much!! I've been looking for some creative solutions instead of downloading and intalling a bunch of extensions that don't work properly and frustate me, so kudos!!
Hi. Thanks for your effort. You can use the google dualless extention to make the same of your third option. It's what I use now.
wWhen I mute the second device, there is still feedback, and loud echoing coming through the first device. The only way it doesn't happen is if I mute both, which doesn't work because I have to speak while presenting screen with students.
Try also turning the volume completely down on the other device. I believe that has helped.
Thank you for sharing these tips in a clear systematic way! Can't wait to try it out with my students.
Well I just read onward and someone else had the same problem. The recommendation of turning the volume down all the way worked! Thank you!!!!!!
Wow you really are one of a kind...
Nice video! But hey, I have a question
Is there an option to disable the camera of all members of aa call and if there isint do you think Google will add this option?

I love your tutorial videos! So very helpful and clear. Thank you!
You also can just jump back and forth between tabs. You don't have to have two different windows.
Thank you for your help! I had such a difficult time trying to figure this out on my own. Your videos are fantastic!
Thanks so far your video the only one that’s showing how to keep that “connection” with people you are video conferencing with. I definitely would go option 2! Thanks! U got a like from me! 👍😁

Wow i learnt more methods to teach n connect with students!! Thanks
This was very helpful. Thanks.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for these tutorials. They're a life saver.
Download grid view and then click include yourself in grid and you can see everyone at one time like zoom
That was not the point here though
Thanks a lot sir. You explain everything nicely.
Great advice, thank you!
Thank you, this is a life saver this fall!!
Thank you for your really helpful video: so clearly explained.
THANK YOU! Very Helpful...
Thank you Sir this video is very informative and helpful.
This is so helpful! I was worried about how to see my students while I share the screen to them. Thank you!
This is wonderful. I am doing option two, two devices. When I present though, I am seeing myself present on the other screen on not just everyone on the screen. HELP!
I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?
Great job... You speak so gentle and clearly... Good for us non English speakers...thank you... Keep it up...
Very informative! Thanks sir!
Thanks Eric well explained for beginners
Great videos! I have referred to them many times since starting distance teaching. I see that it's been asked her twice- is there a setting or a fix for the significant screeching and sound feedback even when you turn off the mic of the second device when using the 2nd option?
Great resource provided very very helpful.
It's very good video. Simple yet clear.
Woa. So much helpful. Thank you, Eric.
Thanks for the information! So useful!
Thank you, Eric! I appreciate!
Very simple language and explaination windows to use for multitasking
Great video, thank you!
Thank you soooo much. Very helpful

Two weeks ago, it changed to not allowing grid view anylonger and not being able to see what I am presenting. It's very frustrating to present to my students since 2 weeks ago.
May also try dualless extension. Works like option 3.

Thank you so much! I'm having to do testing virtually, including some interview portions. This will help tremendously!
