As public health conditions relative to COVID-19 continue to evolve, Kingsway programming remains subject to the regulations and recommendations of the Department of Health. We know the vast majority of our students and clients respond best to in-person opportunities, and we will do our very best to provide in-person programming when it is safe, while also abiding by guidance of local and state officials. We know this isn't an easy time, and we're grateful for your ongoing partnership and support. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility! |

Google Meet Differences on Phones, Tablets, and Computers
Did you know that Google Meet has additional features on computers that are not available on phones and tablets? On computers (i.e. PCs, Chromebooks, MacBooks), Google Meet allows users to see all the participants at once in what is called the Grid View. On tablets and phones, Google Meet allows only one participant to be viewed at a time, and switches back and forth between whomever is speaking.
Plus, on most computers, depending on their graphics capabilities, Google Meet allows your background to be blurred or changed to something exotic or colorful like a tropical beach, mountains, fireworks, or a wall of books. The background cannot be altered on phones and tablets. Click here for a brief tutorial on how to change your background.
Keep these differences in mind if you are discussing Google Meet with other parents or staff. They may have a different set of features depending on the type of device they use with Google Meet.
