Google Meet is a popular video conferencing application used by businesses, education institutions, and individuals around the globe. It offers a user-friendly interface with a plethora of features ensuring a seamless online communication experience. However, one common query among users is how to zoom in during a Google Meet session. This blog post will guide you through the process.
Zooming in Google Meet
Unfortunately, Google Meet itself does not provide a built-in feature to zoom in or out during a video call. You can’t zoom in on a specific participant or a shared screen directly within the application. But worry not! You can still zoom in using the zoom feature of your browser. This method works on Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Steps to Zoom in Google Meet using Browser Settings
-
Open your browser (e.g., Google Chrome) and navigate to the Google Meet session.
-
In the upper right corner of the browser, click on the three vertical dots to open the browser’s settings menu.
-
Hover your mouse over the option that says Zoom. You will see a ‘+’ and ‘-‘ button.
-
To zoom in, click on the ‘+’ button. Each click will increase the zoom level by 10%. You can increase it up to 500%.
-
To zoom out, click on the ‘-‘ button. Each click will decrease the zoom level by 10%.
-
To reset the zoom level to the default, click on the Reset button.
It’s important to note that zooming in this way will affect your entire browser window, not just the Google Meet session. This means any other tabs opened in the same window will also be zoomed in or out.
Conclusion
While Google Meet does not currently provide an in-built zoom function, the browser zoom can act as a workaround for this limitation. We hope this guide helps you to improve your Google Meet experience. Happy meeting!
