Questions

Does Google Meet have a test call?

Meet has no dedicated test number, but the pre-join "green room" shows your camera preview and a mic level, and "Check your audio and video" records a short clip you can play back. This page adds per-channel speaker checks, measured resolution and frame rate, and a shareable report.

Why does Meet say my camera is not found?

Usually another app or tab is using the camera, or the browser has no permission. Close other video apps, allow the camera for meet.google.com in site settings, and on macOS allow your browser under System Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera.

People can't hear me in Meet but the mic test here works.

Meet is set to a different microphone. In the call, click the ^ arrow beside the mic button and select the microphone that passed here. Also check you are not muted by a headset switch.
