For video meetings between teachers and students, Google Meet is used. Use the Chrome browser. If you have a Chromebook, Chrome is always used. To join the meeting, click on a link provided by your teacher. There may also be a meeting prepared for you on the Google Meet homepage that you can click on.
You can access Google Meet by visiting meet.google.com or by going to google.com and clicking on the Meet icon in the menu in the top right corner.
If you have a Chromebook, you can also press the magnifying glass key on the keyboard.
Feel free to download Meet as an app on your mobile. But don't forget to log in with your school account.
The symbols for microphone, camera, raise hand, present, settings, and the phone icon allow you to control various aspects of the meeting. You can turn your camera and microphone on or off. With the hand icon, you can "raise your hand" to request to speak, and with the phone icon, you can leave or end the meeting. By clicking on the three dots, you can change the layout of the meeting and adjust audio and video settings. When you select "present," you can choose to present your entire screen or just a tab.

Here, you can find the other meeting participants. If you are the one who created the meeting, you can, among other things, mute their microphones.

Activities. Here, the host (the person who created the meeting) can, for example, create breakout rooms, conduct polls, and allow participants to answer questions, among other things.
