To learn best practices for distance learning, review the Teacher’s Guide to Hangouts Meet.
- When using Meet, participants can turn off their camera to show their profile photo instead. This can improve video meeting quality if internet speed is slow. If audio quality is poor, use a phone for audio instead.
- For large classes, use a live stream instead of having students join an interactive video class meeting. To engage students while live streaming, you can use Google Slides Q&A. Or, you can pre-record a lesson to share later.
- To help students who are deaf or hard of hearing, turn on live captions in Meet. To capture student responses for a recorded class, use Google Slides Q&A.
- How long will the Hangouts Meet features be available?
- Larger meetings, live streaming, and recorded meetings are available to all G Suite for Education customers until July 1, 2020. After this time, you'll have the option to retain access to these features by purchasing G Suite Enterprise for Education.
