I just came out of a google meeting and I loved it. Why? Because I had subtitles under speakers.
That was brilliant. If you lost concentration, went out of the room, or did not catch what they said, it was brilliant.
The occasional mis-spellings provided extra unintended entertainment. For example, in a Toastmaster's meeting training speakers we sometimes have an ah counter who counts ers and ums and repeated words.
Once the word nose appeared. It took oly a second to realise the speaker was saying the plural of no.
To Pin A Speaker, Or Yourself
Also it is easy to pin the speaker or timer.
Click on a large drawing of a pin.
The usual tricks apply. If you want to video wit your phone and don't want your camera to appear, you can cvoer your laptop lens. I do the same if I walk out of the room, or get up to fetch a pen or glass of water or bring back my mobile phone which I moved away to stop an echo.
I have tried turning off my mobile phone, but then it is not ready when I want to take a screen shot. In theory you can take a screeen shot. However, if you take a second one, the first one disappears.
I have other posts on the advantages of zoom and webex and learn.cool
