Google Grid Views on Google as a Chrome extension
The icon grid is powered by the extension of Google Chrome, a small app for desktop devices. Google did not set up the & # 39; grid view & # 39; is common in Associate, so you have to make yourself available for that feature. Especially on Android since Google Chrome does not have extensions support; Therefore, it is important to download a supportive web browser. For example, Kiwi (you can also use Yandex, for example).
First things first: you should install Kiwi Browser on your Android phone or tablet. It's a free application that provides a great web browsing experience, and has many functions; like being able to install plugins or extensions, which is what we like.
Kiwi Browser
Once you've installed the Kiwi browser on your Android, we've configured it to activate the & # 39; grid view & # 39; on Google Meet:
- Open the browser options (three dots in the top right corner) and go to & # 39; Settings & # 39;
- Scroll down to & # 39; Website Settings & # 39; and use & # 39;Desktop mode by default& # 39 ;. This way you will open all pages in desktop mode (otherwise Google Meet will prompt you to download the Hangouts app).
- Open the Chrome extension store in Kiwi Browser and look for one with the & # 39; Google meet Grid View & # 39; Install and use it: the whole process is done from Kiwi Browser, on your Android.
- Now you're ready to see the Google grid Meet with all video call participants: enter a meeting and you'll see a & # 39; grid view icon & # 39; from the top right.
- Choose the options you consider most important, especially those & # 39;Enable grid automatically& # 39 ;: This will run the default grid every time you enter a video call.
- If you want to deactivate grid view do not select the & # 39; grid view options & # 39; at Google Meet.
Although the process works, and video calls can be made from mobile without major problems, it's not that seeing all the participants on the grid is the most comfortable way to enjoy a video call. But it can be useful if you have a Google Chromecast or some other way to snap a phone photo on television you can call video contacts on a grid and on a large TV screenfor example. Support the phone so the front camera focuses on you and enjoy the video call completely.
