Uredski^(Office) radnici, ne patite više - ne morate provoditi sate svog vremena u zagušljivoj sobi za sastanke. Uz usluge konferencijskih poziva^{(conference call services)} kao što su Zoom i Skype^{(Zoom and Skype)} koje su lako dostupne na mobilnim i stolnim platformama, sada je lakše nego ikad uspostaviti video poziv za posao ili užitak, bilo da se radi o pozivu s prijateljima ili sastanku sa šefom.

Googleova vlastita usluga videopoziva, Google Hangouts , nedavno je povučena u korist Google Meeta^{(Google Meet)} . Što je točno Google Meet ? Google Meet , koja je prije bila poslovna usluga, jednostavna je usluga videopoziva "klikni i počni" koja je sada dostupna svim korisnicima Google računa^{(Google account)} . 

Što je Google Meet?^{(What Is Google Meet?)}

Google Meet je Googleova vrhunska usluga videopoziva. Izvorno lansiran 2017. kao plaćeni proizvod za poslovne korisnike, Googleova odluka da povuče svoju uslugu Google Hangouts orijentiranu na potrošače ostavila je rupu veličine videopoziva u njegovoj ponudi – rupu koju bi Google Meet trebao zamijeniti.

Google Meet je besplatan za korištenje za sve korisnike Google računa od travnja 2020^{(April 2020)} . Ima mobilnu aplikaciju dostupnu za iOS i Android uređaje ili se može koristiti na vašem stolnom računalu ili osobnom računalu posjetom web stranici Google Meet^{(Google Meet website)} . Također možete koristiti Google Meet u samom Gmailu^(Gmail) , kao i zakazati pozive za buduće događaje pomoću Google kalendara^{(Google Calendar)} .

Iako je usluga osmišljena s poslovnim namjerama, nudi izvrsno iskustvo za osobne korisnike. Prednost korištenja Google Meeta^{(Google Meet)} u odnosu na druge usluge je jednostavna – ako imate Google račun, ne morate se prijaviti za još jedan račun da biste započeli videopozive s prijateljima, obitelji ili kolegama na poslu.

Zakazivanje Google Meet sastanka^{(Scheduling a Google Meet Meeting)}

Prije nego što možete započeti videokonferencijski poziv s drugim korisnikom Google Meeta^{(Google Meet)} , morat ćete odmah započeti sastanak ili ga zakazati za neko vrijeme u budućnosti.

Ako želite zakazati sastanak, možete koristiti Google kalendar^{(Google Calendar)} za izradu ID-a sastanka koji se može dijeliti s drugim korisnicima.

1. Da biste zakazali sastanak u Google kalendaru^{(Google Calendar)} , pritisnite gumb Stvori^(Create) u gornjem desnom kutu. U okviru za kreiranje sastanka postavite vrijeme, datum i naziv sastanka, a zatim pritisnite gumb Dodaj video konferenciju Google Meeta . ^{(Add Google Meet video conferencing)}Time će se stvoriti poveznica za Google Meet za dijeljenje , koju možete kopirati pritiskom na gumb Kopiraj^(Copy) . Pritisnite Spremi^(Save) za spremanje događaja sastanka u svoj kalendar.

1. Da biste pozvali druge putem e-pošte, pritisnite gumb Više opcija^{(More Options)} . U širem izborniku za kreiranje sastanka možete pozvati druge vlasnike Google računa na događaj (i time im dati poveznicu na konferenciju) u odjeljku Gosti^(Guests) .

Veza na Google Meet stvorena uz događaj odvest će korisnike na privatni sastanak Google Meeta^{(Google Meet)} , a možete ga koristiti prije, tijekom ili nakon zakazanog vremena događaja.

Ako želite stvoriti ovaj događaj u Google Meetu^{(Google Meet)} , pritisnite gumb Zakaži videosastanak iz Google kalendara na ^{(Schedule a video meeting from Google Calendar)}naslovnoj stranici Google Meeta^{(Google Meet front page)} . To će vas odvesti izravno na novi događaj Google kalendara^{(Google Calendar)} , gdje možete zakazati sastanak i izravno pozvati druge.

Stvaranje i pridruživanje Google Meet sastanku^{(Creating and Joining a Google Meet Meeting)}

Ako želite odmah stvoriti sastanak, to možete učiniti s naslovne stranice Google Meeta^{(Google Meet front page)} , s web- mjesta Gmail^(Gmail) ili iz aplikacije Google Meet na iOS-u ili Androidu^(Android) .

1. Pritisnite gumb Započni sastanak^{(Start a meeting)} da biste odmah stvorili novi sastanak. Time se stvara virtualna soba za sastanke s vlastitim ID kodom od 10 slova. 

1. S stvorenom vezom možete testirati svoj video i mikrofonski ulaz na lijevoj strani. Kada ste spremni da se pridružite sastanku, pritisnite gumb Pridruži se sada^{(Join now)} ili Present ako želite podijeliti svoj zaslon^{(share your screen)} . Izravna veza na vaš sastanak navedena je iznad opcija za pridruživanje sastanku—možete kopirati ovu vezu ili ovdje spremiti kod od 10 slova kako biste omogućili drugim korisnicima da se pridruže vašem sastanku.

Također je moguće stvoriti i pridružiti se sastanku Google Meeta^{(Google Meet)} pomoću Gmail sučelja. To je moguće samo za korisnike stolnih računala – korisnici mobilnih uređaja morat će umjesto toga preuzeti i instalirati aplikaciju Google Meet .

1. Da biste stvorili novi Google Meet sastanak u Gmailu^(Gmail) , otvorite svoju pristiglu poštu na Gmailu^(Gmail) i pritisnite gumb Započni sastanak u odjeljku ^{(Start a meeting)}Google Meet na lijevom izborniku. Ovo će otvoriti Google Meet u novom prozoru, omogućujući vam da pregledate feedove kamere i mikrofona. Kao i prije, pritisnite Pridružite se sada^{(Join now)} ili Present za pridruživanje sastanku.

1. Ako se želite pridružiti sastanku, umjesto toga pritisnite vezu Pridruži se sastanku .^{(Join a meeting)}

1. Gmail će od vas tražiti 10-znamenkasti ID koda sastanka za Google Meet . Upišite ovo u priloženi . Imate kod sastanka? ^{(Got a meeting code? )}Okvir, a zatim pritisnite Pridruži^{( Join)} se da biste se pridružili sastanku.

1. Ako je naveden ispravan ID kod sastanka za Google Meet , Google Meet će se pokrenuti u novom prozoru – pritisnite Pridruži^(Join) se , Pitaj za pridruživanje^{(Ask to Join)} ili Presentiraj^(Present) da mu se pridružiš. Drugi korisnik na sastanku Google Meeta^{(Google Meet)} možda će morati odobriti pozivnicu za pridruživanje ako korisnik već nije pozvan na sastanak. Ako je to odobrenje dano, uspješno ćete se pridružiti sastanku.

Ako koristite Android i iOS, možete se pridružiti pozivima za sastanke s drugim Googleovim^(Google) korisnicima pomoću aplikacije Google Meet .

1. Da biste stvorili novi sastanak u aplikaciji Google Meet , pritisnite gumb Novi sastanak . ^{(New meeting)}To će stvoriti novi sastanak sa skočnim prozorom koji sadrži ID sastanka i vezu za dijeljenje. Da biste se pridružili sastanku u aplikaciji Google Meet , umjesto toga pritisnite opciju Kôd sastanka .^{(Meeting code)}

1. Ako se odlučite pridružiti sastanku, morat ćete unijeti svoj ID sastanka u Google Meetu u prozoru ^{(Google Meet)}Unesite kôd sastanka^{(Enter a meeting code)} , a zatim pritisnuti Pridruži se sastanku^{(Join meeting)} da biste se pridružili sastanku ili Present za preslikavanje zaslona uređaja na sastanak.

Kada odlučite prekinuti sastanak, svi ostali povezani korisnici morat će napustiti sastanak kako bi se istinski završio. Međutim, ID sastanka će ostati važeći, što će vam omogućiti da se kasnije ponovno povežete i pokrenete sastanak, ako to želite.

Videokonferencije uz Google, Zoom i više^{(Video Conferencing With Google, Zoom, and More)}

Uz mogućnost zakazivanja i pokretanja videopoziva na stolnim i mobilnim uređajima, Google Meet nudi snažnu konkurenciju Zoomu^(Zoom) i Microsoftovim timovima^{(Microsoft Teams)} za brze i jednostavne sastanke tima. To je također dobra opcija za osobne pozive, iako su vam druge opcije, kao što su Whatsapp videopozivi^{(Whatsapp video calls)} , dostupne za isprobati.

Ako se ne možete odlučiti između ovih usluga, zašto ih ne isprobati sve? Čak i poslovno orijentirane usluge kao što je Microsoft Teams nude besplatnu uslugu ili probno razdoblje, ali vlasnicima Google računa Google Meet nudi najbrži i najlakši put do videopoziva između kolega i prijatelja – potpuno besplatno.

OTT Explains: What Is Google Meet & How To Use It

Office wоrkers, suffer no longer—you dоn’t need to spend hours of your time in a stuffy meеting room. With conference call services like Zoom and Skype easily available on mobile and desktop platforms, it’s now easier than ever to set up a video call for work or pleasure, whether it’s a call with friends or a meeting with your boss.

Google’s own video calling service, Google Hangouts, was recently retired in favor of Google Meet. What is Google Meet exactly? Previously a business service, Google Meet is a simple, click-and-start video calling service that’s now available for all Google account users. 

What Is Google Meet?

Google Meet is Google’s premier video calling service. Originally launched in 2017 as a paid product for business users, Google’s decision to retire its consumer-orientated Google Hangouts service left a video calling-sized hole in its offerings—a hole that Google Meet is intended to replace.

Google Meet has been free to use for all Google account users since April 2020. It has a mobile app available for iOS and Android devices, or it can be used on your desktop or PC by visiting the Google Meet website. You can also use Google Meet in Gmail itself, as well as schedule calls for future events using Google Calendar.

While the service has been designed with businesses in mind, it offers a great experience for personal users. The benefit of using Google Meet over other services is simple—if you have a Google account, you don’t need to sign up for yet another account to start video calls with your friends, family, or work colleagues.

Scheduling a Google Meet Meeting

Before you can start a video conference call with another Google Meet user, you’ll need to start the meeting immediately or schedule it for a time in the future.

If you want to schedule a meeting, you can use Google Calendar to create a meeting ID that can be shared with other users.

1. To schedule a meeting in Google Calendar, press the Create button in the top-right. In the meeting creation box, set the time, date, and name for the meeting, then press the Add Google Meet video conferencing button. This will create a shareable Google Meet link, which you can copy by pressing the Copy button. Press Save to save the meeting event to your calendar.

1. To invite others by email, press the More Options button. In the wider meeting creation menu, you can invite other Google account holders to the event (and thus provide them with the link to the conference) in the Guests section.

The Google Meet link created with the event will take users to the private Google Meet meeting, and you’re free to use this before, during, or after the scheduled event time.

If you want to create this event in Google Meet, press the Schedule a video meeting from Google Calendar button on the Google Meet front page. This will take you directly to a new Google Calendar event, where you can schedule a meeting and invite others directly.

Creating and Joining a Google Meet Meeting

If you want to create a meeting immediately, you can do this from the Google Meet front page, from the Gmail website, or from the Google Meet app on iOS or Android.

1. Press the Start a meeting button to immediately create a new meeting. This creates a virtual meeting room with its own 10-letter ID code. 

1. With the link created, you can test your video and mic input on the left-hand side. Once you’re ready to join the meeting, press the Join now button, or Present if you want to share your screen. A direct link to your meeting is listed above the options to join the meeting—you can copy this link or save the 10-letter code here to allow other users to join your meeting.

It’s also possible to create and join a Google Meet meeting using the Gmail interface. This is only possible for desktop users—mobile users will need to download and install the Google Meet app instead.

1. To create a new Google Meet meeting in Gmail, open your Gmail inbox and press the Start a meeting button in the Google Meet section in the left-hand menu. This will open Google Meet in a new window, allowing you to preview your camera and mic feeds. As before, press Join now or Present to join the meeting.

1. If you want to join a meeting, press the Join a meeting link instead.

1. Gmail will ask you for the 10-digit Google Meet meeting ID code. Type this into the provided Got a meeting code? Box, then press Join to join the meeting.

1. If a correct Google Meet meeting ID code is provided, Google Meet will launch in a new window—press Join, Ask to Join or Present to join it. Another user in the Google Meet meeting may need to approve the invite to join if the user hasn’t already been invited to the meeting. If that approval is given, you’ll successfully join the meeting.

If you’re on Android and iOS, you can join meeting calls with other Google users using the Google Meet app.

1. To create a new meeting in the Google Meet app, press the New meeting button. This will create a new meeting, with a pop-up containing the meeting ID and sharing link. To join a meeting in the Google Meet app, press the Meeting code option instead.

1. If you decide to join a meeting, you’ll need to type your Google Meet meeting ID in the Enter a meeting code window, then press Join meeting to join the meeting, or Present to mirror your device screen to the meeting.

When you decide to end a meeting, all other connected users will need to leave the meeting for it to truly end. The meeting ID will remain valid, however, allowing you to reconnect and restart a meeting later, should you wish to do so.

Video Conferencing With Google, Zoom, and More

With the ability to schedule and launch video calls on desktop and mobile, Google Meet offers strong competition to Zoom and Microsoft Teams for quick, easy team meetings. It’s also a good option for personal calls, although other options, such as Whatsapp video calls, are available for you to try.

If you can’t decide between these services, why not try all of them? Even business-orientated services like Microsoft Teams offer a free service or trial period, but for Google account holders, Google Meet offers the quickest and easiest route to video calls between colleagues and friends—entirely for free.
