If you have already Cleared your Browsing Data and Reset Chrome Settings and removed unnecessary extensions, you should try these tips from Google.

  • Reduce the number of open tabs and apps - this will improve CPU performance.

If you HAVE TO open up another tab, please make sure to mute your video before doing so. That will save on the available Chromebook processor resources and allow you to open the second tab.

  • Try not to use Bluetooth headphones/microphone to see if that helps.

  • Reduce your video quality 

  • After a meeting starts, click More More and then Settings Settings and then Video.
Under Send resolution (maximum), click Standard definition (360p).
Under Receive resolution (maximum), click Standard definition (360p).
This will reduce the bandwidth required for the meeting and also potentially reduce the amount of CPU used to run the meeting on your computer.


  • Use Spotlight View - I know teachers like to see everyone, but it may not be possible if you have a large Meet.  There have also been reported issues when the Google Meet view extension is used, try to remove it and use the Google 4x4 grid view, there is a 7x7 one coming out shortly.  The students can follow these instructions and use Spotlight View too, if they are having issues.
The Spotlight layout in Meet reduces the CPU and GPU workload. To enable it:

In the bottom-right corner of the Meet call, click to open the menu.
Select Change layout.
Select Spotlight. 

  • Don't overlap your Meet window with other windows

Don’t put another window on top of your Meet window, as window layering can cause more GPU load. Try to instead use half screens if you need to keep a notes doc open during a Meet call.
