Google Meet cannot detect if you switched tabs unless if you have allowed screen sharing where the instructor views your screen. Without sharing the screen, it is hard for the instructor to view your apps on the PC or on your phone. However, they can monitor your movements via the camera, which can tell your behavior.
Hence this possibility can be safely eliminated. A more sensible explanation is that the teacher is knowing when you switch tabs on Google Meet either by studying your facial expressions or changes in the light from the laptop screen being reflected onto your face.
While we were writing we ran into the query “Can my teacher tell if I switch tabs on meet?”.
Unless you are sharing your screen via meet she will not be able to know that you can switch tabs on meet Of course, she can look at your expressions and understand you are switching tabs Or unless you are using a school laptop or school software which could monitor your PC, she might be able to track you.
Some teacher told us there is a locked mode or lockdown mode option that once enabled he specifically said he will get notified whenever a student changes the tab or switches to another app.
