  3. Locate any installed plugins, particularly those related to cookies or ad-blocking.
  4. Toggle the switch to disable these plugins.

Disabling any cookie pop-up blockers or similar plugins might help as these can interfere with browser functionality related to screen sharing.

  2. Click on the three-dot menu at the bottom of the Google Meet screen.
  3. Select Open picture-in-picture.
  4. Move and resize the small floating Meet window to keep it visible while navigating to other applications.

Using picture-in-picture mode can help you stay engaged in the meeting while navigating between different content, ensuring you don’t miss any reactions or interactions.

By following these steps, you can enhance your Google Meet experience in the Arc Browser. For future reference, regularly updating your software and disabling unnecessary plugins can help prevent similar issues. Happy meeting!
