On the Home page of the Canvas course, you should find a Google Meet button. While each teacher's button might look different, it likely has a Google Meet logo like one of the one's below.
Once you click on the Google Meet button, you should click Ask to Join or Join Now. The teacher will let you in when he or she is ready.
TIP: Do not try to join the meeting too early. It is recommended to try to join no more than 5 minutes before the meeting is set to begin.
