Use Google Meet on your Galaxy phone or tablet

Have a video call planned for later today? Make sure Google Meet is all set up so you can take advantage of its handy features while you catch up with your relative or friend that you haven't seen in a while.

1. Navigate to and open the Google folder, and then open the Google Meet app. Allow the permissions when prompted.
2. To begin a video call, tap New, and then select your desired contact by tapping Search contacts or dial. You can also tap Create a new meeting, Schedule in Google Calendar, or Create group.
   
3. If your contact does not currently have Google Meet, you may need to send them an invite. Select Compose an invite, and then choose your desired sharing method, such as a text message.
4. Once your contact has Google Meet installed, you can begin calling them! Tap Call to begin the video call.
5. The general controls are just like most other phone or video chat apps. You can flip the camera, turn off the video, mute your voice, or end the call. Tap More options (the three vertical dots) to the right of the contact's name to select from Mute, Pin, Remove, or Full screen.
6. Not only will you get a high-quality video call, you’ll also get a bunch of features and settings you can use! To access these, tap More options (the three vertical dots) at the very bottom of the screen, and then choose from the following:
   
   • In call messages: Send text messages to your participants.
   • Share screen: Share your device’s screen.
   • Show captions: Turn captions on or off.
   • Report a problem: Send feedback to Google.
   • Report abuse: Report the call as abusive.
   • Host controls: Access Host management controls, which will let you restrict what participants can do during the call.
   • Settings: Adjust the video in low light conditions, report a problem, turn on captions, and change the captions’ language.

Maybe that super important document isn’t on your work computer… maybe it was accidentally saved on your phone or tablet! No worries, you can share your Galaxy device’s screen during video calls with Google Meet.

1. Navigate to and open the Google Meet app, and then join a video call.
2. Tap More options (the three vertical dots) at the very bottom of the screen, and then tap Share screen.
   
3. A pop-up will appear; tap Start now to begin sharing your screen. Then, navigate to the app or file you’d like to share.
4. When you are done, tap Stop sharing on the Google Meet screen. The video call will go back to normal.

As amazing as the video quality is in the Duo app, it may be hard to see everything in the recipient's video feed on your phone or tablet. If you'd like to view the video on a bigger screen, you can use Smart View to mirror the video call to a TV!

1. Navigate to and open the Meet app, and then join a video call.
2. Tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then swipe to and tap Smart View. Follow the on-screen prompts if you are required to allow some permissions.
   
3. Select your desired TV from the list of available devices, and then tap Start now.
   
   Note: You may be required to select Allow on the TV to complete the connection.
4. Your device’s screen will now stream to the TV, and you’ll see a bigger version of your video call!

1. Navigate to and open the Contacts app, and then choose your desired contact.
2. Tap More (the three vertical dots), and then tap Select video call method.
   
3. You can choose between Google Meet, Video call, or Always ask. Select Google Meet to make it your preferred method.
4. Now Google Meet will always open whenever you start a video call with that contact. When you’re finished, tap Done.
5. If you'd like Google Meet to be the preferred video call method for other contacts, you will need to repeat these steps for each individual contact.
