Google Meet

What Is It?

Google Meet is a quick and easy way to host video conferencing. Add your students by sending them a code. With Meet, you are able to share your screen and record your meeting sessions!

*Meet has adjusted settings so that students cannot mute each other's mics or remove each other from meetings*

Pros:

  • Up to 250 Participants

  • Already integrated with your school account! <Zoom requires a separate account>

  • Teachers (but not students) can record their meeting with the file automatically saved to your Google Drive

  • Share your screen (even from an iPad/iPhone) with recordings saved to Google Drive

  • Create a meeting in the moment, or schedule one from your Google Calendar

  • Nothing to download! <Zoom requires downloaded software>

  • Students simply join with a link

Cons:

  • No "waiting room" feature

  • Students can join your meeting room before you are there

  • Students might rejoin your room after you leave

  • Only one person can share their screen at a time
