Google Meet not working



Google Meet is one of the most popular video conferencing tools for personal and professional use. However, sometimes users may have issues joining or connecting the service due to Firewall or port blockage. It is advisable to add Google Meet to the "Allow" list in Firewall preferences of the network. Further, you can also uncheck the box of ‘Use port 80 and 443 as an alternative’ in the ‘network’ settings of Google Meet.


Sometimes, your browser’s cache or cookies can also affect the performance of Google Meet. To resolve this issue, clear browser’s cache & cookies by following the steps on the internet. Make sure you have an updated version of the browser, if not then update your browser.


Google Meet issue solutions



If you are facing technical difficulties in joining a Google Meet video call, then there are some quick and easy fixes. Firstly, you can restart your computer or device to reset the connection. If the problem persists, then it might be due to low or unstable internet connection. You can check your internet speed using a website that checks internet speed. If the speed is low or if latency is high, then it’s better to try other methods to reduce latency. Alternatively, you can also reboot your modem or router to reset the connection.


If you are facing any issue with audio or video, then make sure you have enabled the required audio and video devices in the Network settings. Also, check if the audio and video drivers are updated or not.


Google Meet also supports virtual camera backgrounds and screen sharing. To use virtual camera background, you need to have a suitable folder with supported images and videos. To use screen sharing, you need to install Google Meet Extension for Chrome. Once installed, you can easily share your screen with others.


These are some of the quick and easy methods to fix the Google Meet not working issue. In case the issue still persists, it is advisable to contact the Google Meet Help Center support team and seek assistance.
