Google Hangouts Meet is a video conferencing tool that allows you to establish video conferences with different people simultaneously. It integrates with other Google applications such as the calendar.

• Recording of meetings
• Possibility of joining up to 250 people

• Accept the installation by clicking Add extension.

The next time you connect to a video conference with Google Hangouts Meet, at the top right of the screen you will find a new icon that will allow you to activate this mosaic view:
