Preliminary information

Before explaining yourself how to mute presentation in MeetI have to give you some useful preliminary information on this.

In fact, you must know that, in order to succeed in this attempt, it is strictly necessary to proceed from pcthrough the official website of Google’s video conferencing service, given that, at the time of writing this guide, a desktop client for Windows or macOS dedicated to Google Meet is not available.
