Google Enterprise - Additional Options for Meet
FYI, lessons learned already:
When in a Breakout room and you want to close the rooms, the participants will see a pop-up message in the Meet window stating that they should return to the main room. They will not be FORCED to go to the main room. For example, if students are working on a doc in another tab, they won't see the message that popped up in the Meet window and can keep working/talking while others have returned to the main room.
When using Q&A - The intent is more for participants to pose a question for the host or others to see. That may guide the conversation. There's no place to answer the question in writing. Participants can "like" the question, and the host has a number of options, including the ability to hide questions.
When a Meet ends, the host will get an email with specific information about any Polls or Q&As that are used during the Meet, as well as an attendance report. Look for a new folder automatically created in your Drive called Meet Reports.
Google Meet Waiting Rooms- the host will hear a knocking sound or a chime to admit those joining from outside of the domain (outside of cvsdvt.org) It is possible to bulk admit people. Please do NOT do this - it is not secure and we want to admit those we know into meetings.
