Getting Connected
Google Meet
Recently made available free to all, Google Meet is a
video conference software you can run directly on your
computer’s web browser, no need to download and
install a separate application.
To change the microphone input, first open the menu by
clicking on the three vertical dots, then select settings.
Before joining a meeting, the dots to access the menu
will be on the top right of the window, after joining they
will be on the bottom right.
Facetime
An apple exclusive software, Facetime comes pre-installed on all iPhones and Mac computers. If everyone in your
group is on an Apple device, Facetime is a perfectly fine application to use for group video calls.
After you open Facetime on your Mac, on the toolbar at the top of the screen, click on Video to drop down a menu. In
this menu there is Microphone section where you can select your option. Make sure to select “USB2.0 Device”. This
menu can be accessed before or after joining a call.
Once you are in the audio settings, under Microphone there will be a drop-down menu, make sure “USB2.0 Device”
is selected. Once selected, when you speak into the mic the small meter to the right should move showing it is
receiving the signal.
