Once you are in your Meet, find the blue shield in your Meet room to find the Quick Access toggle.
If you toggle this Quick Access off, everyone who isn't invited directly must ask to join your Meet - including students in your organization. In essence, this locks down your room so only those you invited (if anyone) and those you approve can get in.
- If you are trying to secure your full class meetings so that students cannot access your Google Meet room when you are not having class you should:
Always remove all of your students before closing out the Meet. Students who are using their @iu12gmail.org logins will be unable to rejoin unless you are hosting a meeting in the same room.
Create your Google Meet using a “Nickname.” A good protocol would be to create a nickname using your name and class period (so other teachers don’t accidentally choose your name and start their classes under the same name). Students will not be able to join without you starting the meeting, and if you remove every student before you leave, students will not be able to rejoin the meeting.
- If you are trying to set up secure individual meetings with students/parents, there are two options:
Use your Google Calendar to set up individual meetings with parents/students where each student receives his/her own link. Click on create, invite the student/parent as a guest, add Google Meet Video Conferencing. You can set individual meetings this way or schedule them out as recurring for that student. See this video for directions.
Create a new, unique Google Meet right before your meeting and invite the student/parent directly to that meeting at the time. You can use the nickname option which was shared above.
