Presenting a document in Google Meet has never been easier. You'll notice a handy button at the top of your Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides menu that lets you present your document directly to your meeting participants in Google Meet.

You have three convenient ways to present the document. You can open the document in a new tab for an active meeting, click a scheduled Google Calendar event, or enter a meeting code or link.

At the time of writing in July 2021, the feature is only available when using Google Chrome.

Present to Google Meet in Another Tab

• Present with a Scheduled Google Calendar Event
• Present with a Google Meet Code or Link
• How to Stop Presenting Your Document

If you've already joined your Google Meet meeting, presenting your Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides document is simple.

Open Docs, Sheets, or Slides in a new Google Chrome tab and navigate to the document you want to present.

On the top right of the screen, next to the Share button, click the icon for "Present to a Meeting" (a box around an up arrow). You should see your current active meeting appear in the drop-down box. Click "Present Tab to Meeting."

In the subsequent pop-up window, make sure "This Tab" is selected and displays your document. Select the tab content to highlight it and click "Share."

Pop over to your Google Meet tab and you should then see the document you're presenting simultaneously with your meeting participants .

Present With a Scheduled Google Calendar Event

If the meeting organizer scheduled the Google Meet in Google Calendar, you can present your document directly to the event.

Open the document and click the "Present to a Meeting" icon (a box around an up arrow). If the meeting hasn't started yet, you'll see the name and time. If it has started, you'll see the name and Now. Click the event.

In the subsequent screen, click "Present Tab to Meeting" and follow the same process as above to select the tab content and hit "Share."

While this option does have you presenting your document, it will not join you to the meeting automatically. You'll need to join your meeting like any other Google Meet and will see your document presented once you do.

Present With a Google Meet Code or Link

If you don't have the Google Meet meeting open and active and also don't have a Google Calendar event for it, you can use the meeting code or link to present your document. This assumes that you've obtained the Google Meet code or meeting link from the organizer.

Open your document, click "Present to a Meeting"(a box around an up arrow), and choose "Present Using a Meeting Code."

Enter the meeting code or link and click "Continue."

Click "Present Tab to Meeting" and follow the same process to select the tab content and click "Share."

Like with the Google Calendar event option above, you'll still need to join the meeting in Google Meet . And again, when you do, you'll see your document being presented.

Stop Presenting Your Document

When you join a Google Meet and present your document, you'll see a note of this at the top of the meeting screen. So, when you're done presenting the document, click "Stop" in that message.

Alternatively, you can go to your document tab in Chrome, click the "Present to a Meeting" icon again, and then click "Stop Presenting Tab."

There are times when sharing your screen in Google Meet is appropriate. But for those other times when you simply want to show a document, remember this handy trick.

How to Present (Share Screen) in Google Meet

A lot of organizations and schools use Google Meet to conduct online meetings and teaching sessions. But video meetings aren’t always enough. A lot of the times you need to be able to share a lot more like presentations, some quick documents, or apps from your computer. These instances make you wish the person was in front of you so you could just show them your screen.

Well, you can show or, rather share your screen on Google Meet with other meeting participants, and that too without any additional requirements. Google Meet lets you present your complete screen, a Chrome tab, or an application window – it’s entirely up to you – with people in the meeting very easily. It’s the perfect little tool whether you need to give presentations, share projects, or train new employees remotely. It opens a whole new world of possibilities in remote working.

How to Present During a Meeting

You can present your screen during an ongoing video meeting, or you can join the meeting only to present. To present during an ongoing meeting, go to meet.google.com in your browser, and click on ‘Join or start a meeting’ button. Either enter a meeting code to join a meeting or create a Google Meet and invite others to join. When the meeting room is ready, click on the ‘Join now’ button.

Now, in the meeting, click on the ‘Present Now’ button at the bottom right corner of the screen.

A context menu will appear with options to present ‘Your entire screen’, ‘A window’, or ‘A chrome tab’. Select the option accordingly. While sharing Chrome tabs, you can also switch between tabs while presenting.

Note: It’s better to choose either a window or a chrome tab when you need to share only from a specific app or website instead of the whole screen while presenting to prevent any leak of sensitive information.

A pop-up box will appear based on what you selected.

• A window: If you choose the window option, the box will list your active windows available for sharing.
• A Chrome tab: If you choose the chrome tab, a list of all your open Google Chrome tabs will appear.
• Your entire screen: If you chose to share your entire screen, it will display a single screen.

Select the option from the pop-up box that you want to share and then click on the ‘Share’ button to start sharing.

The window/ tab you chose will open on the screen and participants in the meeting will be able to see your screen. When it’s finished, click on ‘Stop Presenting’ button on Google Meet to end the screen-sharing session.

The chrome tab that you are sharing will also show a ‘Sharing this tab to meet.google.com’ message so you will know which tab you are sharing currently.

To change or switch a tab while presenting, go to the tab you want to start sharing, then click on the ‘Share this tab instead’ option below the address bar.

You can also click on the ‘Stop’ button on the tab you are sharing to end the screen-sharing session without having to go to Google Meet.

How to Join a Meeting Only to Present?

You can also join the meeting only to present. When you do this, you will not be part of the meeting and won’t receive any audio or video from other people, and other people in the meeting won’t receive yours. You will only be able to share your screen, application window, or a Chrome tab.

To join the meeting only to present, go to meet.google.com and enter the meeting code to join the meeting. After reaching the ‘Meeting ready’ page, click on ‘Present’ button instead of ‘Join now’.

After you’ve entered the meeting, a pop-up box will appear where you can choose what you want to share. Choose either a Chrome tab, or an application window, or your entire screen based on your requirements and then, click on the ‘Share’ button at the bottom of the box.

What If Someone Is Already Presenting?

If someone in the meeting is already presenting, you can take over the screen from them and start sharing your screen instead. When someone else is presenting, the ‘Present Now’ option will be replaced by ‘<person name> is presenting’. Click on it.

After you select what you want to share, and click the share option, another pop-up box will appear on the screen stating that ‘This will let you take over from <person name> as the main presenter’. Click on ‘Share now’ to start presenting, or ‘Cancel’ to wait for them to end their presentation.

When you click on ‘Share now’, the other person’s presentation will stop and they will receive the message that someone else took over.

When you are working or teaching remotely on Google Meet, in addition to hosting virtual meetings or classes, the service also lets you share your screen with the meeting participants. So, even in a remote setting, you can easily give presentations, or train employees, or students using the ‘Present’ feature in Google Meet.

On Google Meet, here is how to quickly present documents from Docs, Slides to Sheets

Google meet has been one of the most easy-to-use video meeting services available for free during the pandemic. here’s how you can quickly share your documents during a google meet presentation..

Just like MS Teams, or Zoom, Google Meet became very popular starting last year due to the exigencies of the Covid-19 pandemic situation when most people had to stay at home due to the lockdown. The novel coronavirus pandemic forced people and businesses to opt for work from home and remote working models instead of traditional office setups. With regular in-person presentations no longer possible, apps like Google Meet have stepped up to offer virtual options. With its tight integration with the company's ecosystem, Google Meet gives users the ability to directly present from Google Docs, Slides and Sheets, even while the documents are being edited in real-time.

If you have used a screen sharing service for a video meeting in the past, you may have tried to share a PDF or other document, which involves locating the file and then sharing the screen to load the presentation or document you want to display. The process of sharing documents is quite easy on Google Meet and here we show how to present Google Docs, Slides and Sheets directly on Google Meet.

According to the company's documentation, users must be on a Chrome browser to present Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides in Google Meet. However, we were able to get this feature working on Microsoft Edge, which is also based on Google's Chromium browser engine.

Step 1: In order to start presenting a document on Google Meet, you must first visit meet.google.com and either host a meeting, or join one. This means that the meeting needs to be running before you can start sharing a document.

Step 2: Now select a file you want to share on Google Docs, Slides or Sheets that you want to present on Google Meet. You can also create a new document, spreadsheet or presentation and begin sharing that even as you are editing it.

Step 3: You should now see a button at the top right side of your screen called Present to a meeting. A new popup will ask you to pick a meeting - which you have previously joined. You can also enter a meeting code for a meeting that is scheduled.

Step 4: Check the preview of the tab containing the document that shows up and then click the confirm button to start sharing. You can now head over to the Google Meet tab to continue your presentation, where you can present your document in full screen mode.

Yes, indeed, on Google meet, it is as easy as this to present Google Docs, Slides, Sheets and more.

How to Present a PowerPoint Presentation on Google Meet

Are you getting ready for an online presentation on Google Meet? Stay tuned to learn how to share a PowerPoint in Google Meet.

Presenting in Google Meet is convenient option if you can’t meet with people in person to give your presentation. Use it to have real-time meetings or without video. Before setting up your presentation in Google Meet, you’ll need to create a presentation.

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to present in Google Meet. You'll also see some premium PowerPoint templates . Plus, there's a question-and-answer section and a design trends section to make sure that you've got the best presentation for Google Meet.

Once you complete your PowerPoint presentation, you can then present it in Google Meet. Let's look into how to present on Google Meet. For this tutorial, we’ll use the Niche PowerPoint template .

Before your presentation, you'll want to customize the template. Learn how to do that in this tutorial:

Once you've customized your template, here's how to present a PowerPoint on Google Meet:

1. Open the PPT file

To begin, locate the PowerPoint file on your PC that you want to share on Google Meet and open it.

2. Log Into Your Google Account

You won't be able to use Google Meet unless you're logged into your Google account. So, the next step is to make sure that your Google account is logged in.

3. Create a Meeting

Open a browser and go to https://meet.google.com/ . Click on the blue New Meeting button in left of the screen.

When you click on this button, a menu will drop down where you've got the choice to

• Create a meeting for later
• Start an instant meeting
• Schedule in Google Calendar

Click on Start an Instant meeting to start a meeting. A  popup displays asking for access to your camera and microphone.

Click Allow to give Meet access to your camera and microphone. 

4. Start Your Meeting

Now that you've started a meeting. In the left upper corner, a popup window gives you a link that you can use to add others to your Google Meet session.

Click the icon in the left of the gray bar to copy the link and email to the people you want to invite to your meeting. Or add others to the meeting by using the blue button. 

If you don't want people don’t see you, click the Camera button on the bottom of the screen.

5. Give Your Presentation 

On the bottom of the screen, click on the Present now button. When you click on this button, a menu will pop up. In this menu, you've got three options:

• Your entire screen . Shows your entire screen in the meeting window.
• A window . Allows you to select a single window to share Google Meet.
• A tab . Share a selected tab with the meeting. 

Choose the best option for you. I recommend clicking on the A window option to share the window where you've got your presentation open. When you choose this option, a window pops up that gives you an option to choose from your open windows. 

Once you’ve selected the window where your presentation is, click on the Share button on the bottom of the window.

6. Start Your Presentation

On your open presentation, click Slideshow from the menu bar. Then click From Beginning . Click through the slides at your own pace. If your microphone is turned on, you can talk about each slide. 

You're now sharing your PowerPoint presentation in Google Meet. 

7. End the Meeting

To end your Google Meet presentation , click on the Stop Presenting button in the top right corner. When you click on this button, you’ll stop sharing your window, but you’ll still be in Google Meet. To leave the meeting, click on the Leave Call button.

5 Design Trends for Making Presentations to Present in Google Meet

When making your presentation, you want the presentation to be effective. Having an attractive design is a way to make your presentation more effective . Here are design five trends to be aware of:

1. Gradient Color

Solid colors can be boring. So, if you’re looking for a way to make your Google Meet presentation more visually appealing, use gradient color. Gradient color is where a color gradually transitions into another color. You can have gradient color with similar colors or contrasting colors.

2. Keep It Simple

Simple Google Meet presentation slides make the audience focus on what you want them too. This trend allows you to add the most important information to the side and leave the non-important information off. This look means less design, text, and images.

Previous trends using neon colors were in. But now those are out, and pastels are in.

Pastels add a nice touch of color to your presentation slide without distracting your audience from your main point. Pastel colors are not only less distracting but add an element of fun and whimsy to your slide design.

Visuals such as images and video have the power to evoke emotion from your audience. When choosing which visuals to use in your Google Meet presentation , choose high-quality visuals. They'll have the biggest impact on the audience.

Along with high-quality visuals, choosing visuals that are relevant to your topic is important too.

5. Nature-Inspired

Taking inspiration from nature is a recent trend that's popular in presentation design. Nature inspiration can mean having leaves and flowers on your slide or having a color scheme of natural colors. This trend goes well with whatever topic your Google Meet presentation may be about.
