The third-party Google Meet Grid View extension published by Chris Gamble has been causing significant issues with displaying meeting attendees, freezing video, and computer performance. Since Google released a tiled view in Google Meet, Information Technology Services (ITS) recommends removing the 3rd-party extension and moving to using the built-in Google Meet tiled view layout.

To remove the extension, please:

  1. In Chrome, click the Extension icon in the upper right-hand corner (puzzle icon).
  2. Click the three vertical dots aside from the Google Meet Grid View extension.
  3. Click Remove from Chrome…

For detailed information, please see this Quick Reference Guide on Removing the Third-party Grid View extension.

On Wednesday July 8th, Denison will begin moving to a new virtual private network (VPN) service. This service, called GlobalProtect, will replace Pulse Secure by July 23.

If you currently use Pulse Secure, please take action to install the GlobalProtect VPN agent as soon as possible. You can find Quick Reference Guides for installing and using the GlobalProtect VPN agent in the Access Instructions section of the MyDenison GlobalProtect page.

Why the change?

  • GlobalProtect provides expanded user access, a more intuitive login process, cost savings, and some valuable behind-the-scenes security/management features.

When must I change?

  • Pulse Secure will no longer be available after July 23, 2020.
  • Information Technology Services (ITS) recommends you begin using the GlobalProtect VPN agent as soon as possible. For VPN continuity of use, you must switch to GlobalProtect and uninstall Pulse Secure by July 23, 2020.
