To participate in an online training with the Therap experts, the users might need to use the Google Meet app. If you are using a smartphone or tab, then you need to install the Google Meet app. If you are using an android device and the app is not installed yet, please install the app from the Google Play Store. In case of using an iPhone, you can download the app from the Apple App Store.

Go to the respective app store, enter ‘Google Meet’ in the search option and find the app and install it in your device. After installing the software, if you open the software it might ask for some access such as access for recording audio and video, access for microphone, access for camera etc. depending on your device.
