Google Meet for families

What is Google Meet?

Google Meet makes it easy to start a secure video meeting. Join from any modern web browser or download the app, and you're ready to go.

All students K-12 should be accessing Google Meet using their District-issued Chromebook.
Students can only join a Google Meet after a staff member has started the Meet first. If your child tries to join prior to the teacher, you will not be allowed in.
Students cannot create Meets, and can only join Meets within Greece Central School District.
Parents may be invited to a Meet with an administrator or staff member and that will be done through an email that you will receive. If accessing the Meet from your mobile device (phone) you should download the Google Meet App from either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. You may also use your child's Chromebook or a personal computer and this will be done as a web-based experience.
The first time you access Google Meet you will be prompted to allow your camera and microphone which you should allow.
