For large virtual meetings, use features like breakout rooms to manage discussions in smaller groups, Q&amp;A and polls to keep participants engaged, and the ‘raise hand’ option to maintain order. Assign a co-host to manage participants and chat, and record the session for those who can’t attend. Also, enable noise cancellation and live captions for better accessibility and clarity

Show a physical whiteboard, document, or a real object by connecting a second webcam or even your phone as a camera.

In Google Meet, click Present now button &gt; A window” or A tab or choose a secondary camera.

This feature is incredibly valuable for trainers, educators, or anyone needing to show physical demonstrations during a virtual meeting, and is not widely known

we can use breakout rooms, polls, Q&amp;A, and co-hosts to manage engagement and participation; enable recording, captions, and attendance tracking for accessibility and follow-up. Plan ahead with Google Calendar integration and host controls to streamline the meeting flow. this makes google meet easy and accessible.

### Comment 7

When setting up the meeting, you can include that the participants&#39; microphones are muted by default, so there won&#39;t be as much noise at the start of the meeting. At the start of the meeting, instruct the participants to raise their hand and turn on the microphone to participate.

actually it has a lot of features I like using it but maybe if you prefer to use desktop app it is better to have larger meetings with it.
Besides, features such as jamboard (basically whiteboard) is very useful if you describe your projects to the team or visualize the things. If you have time please check other features I enjoy using it.
