How to Ask Anonymously on Google Meet?

If you’re having trouble finding a way to ask an anonymous question on Google Meet, there are a few options.

The first is to set your question to be anonymous, which will allow you to remain completely anonymous when you ask the question.

This isn’t the only option, but it’s the easiest one. You can also set your question to 'ask anonymously', which will allow you to remain anonymous when you’re responding, but not when you’re posing a question.

Why Do That?

We’ve all been in that situation where someone is trying to have a conversation but the other person keeps talking over them. It’s frustrating, and it’s a scenario that we’ve all experienced – whether in a face-to-face meeting or a video call – with Google Meet.

The service’s microphones don’t seem to be able to detect when one person is speaking and when they’re not. The result is that the person trying to have their say is prevented from doing so, and the other person is allowed to continue talking.

Google Meet is an insanely easy app to use. Were you aware of the various feature it provides? Features like sending Invitations through Whatsapp web and WhatsApp groups? All of the processes are similarly easy.
