When you present your screen in Google Meet, you allow other attendees to view documents, webpages and more that are visible on your device's screen.
Google Meet enables you to present your screen using either your computer or a mobile device.
Presenting your screen in Google Meet is equivalent to screen sharing, and comes with some privacy concerns that Google will alert you about before you agree to share your screen.

In the age of remote work, Google Meet, the teleconferencing tool from Google, offers businesses and teams a reliable option outside of industry leader Zoom.
Among its many tools, Google Meet gives you the ability to virtually "present" to other members of your meeting. Presenting in Google Meet is essentially screen sharing, and allows you to share your entire screen or a specific window in a meeting.
This way, your co-workers and team members can see the documents, presentations, spreadsheets, or webpages you're looking at and working on for easier collaboration.
