8 Google Meet Updates (most of them are good)

💡 This is a long video...use the table of contents below to jump to the portion of the video that interest you.

Google Meet has been updated with 8 new features that will improve virtual meetings and lessons. 🥳

These features represent Google’s careful attention to customer feedback.
We (teachers) asked for these features, and Google delivered! 👏

Many of these updates are awesome and will make it easier to teach using Google Meet and engage your student during your virtual lessons.

A few of the updates need some improvements and refinements.

This is my honest assessment of all of the 2020 Google Meet updates.
