Google Meet: How to increase the size of a shared screen
When another person on a Meet call is sharing their screen, text may be hard to read due to the large number of UI elements taking up space.
Here are some things you can do to increase the size of the shared screen:
- Pin the shared screen by hovering over it and pressing the Pin icon.
- Hover over your own image and press the Minimize icon.
- In the Meet Menu (triple dots) switch your Layout to "Focus".
- Zoom out (!) by pressing
CTRL+minus
a couple of times. This reduces the size of the Meet controls at the bottom. You can later reset your zoom withCTRL+0
. - Press
F11
to hide the browser UI. You can leave fullscreen by pressingF11
again. - Ask the sharing person to zoom in, increase their font size, or only share a single window (resized to a smaller size).
