Google Meet – Available free of charge over the next few weeks, teachers can integrate the tool with Google and manage online learning.
“Many schools and universities are already using Meet to teach virtual classes, hold parent meetings, conferences with teachers, individualized monitoring and even social gatherings of the school community, in a safe and reliable way,” says Google.

With the integration, educators can create a unique Meet link for each class, which is displayed on the “Mural” and “Activities” pages.
The link works as a dedicated meeting space for each class, facilitating the participation of teachers and students.
Only teachers can access class settings to create the Meet link.
All Meet links created by the integration with the Classroom have nicknames, so students cannot participate without the teacher present.

Check out Google Meet tips for teachers:
- In educational institution accounts, only the creator of the meeting, the owner of the calendar event, or the person who sets up the meeting on a hardware device in the room can mute or remove participants from the video call. This prevents students from muting or removing other students or the teacher. This automatic restriction has been applied to all educational institution accounts since March 19, 2020.
- When using Meet, participants can disable the camera to show only the profile photo. This improves the quality of the meeting when the Internet speed is slow. If the audio quality is poor, use a telephone to hear the audio.
- For larger classes, use a live stream instead of having students participate in an interactive video call. To engage students during the broadcast, use the Google Slides question and answer feature. You can also record a lesson for later sharing.
- To capture student responses in a recorded lesson, use Google Slides Questions and Answers.
Meet is already included in the G Suite for Education – which currently serves more than 120 million students and teachers worldwide.
