Google Meet/Hangout

Schedule a video meeting in Calendar

Create a new event with a video meeting

When you add a guest to an event, a video meeting link and dial-in number are added automatically. Alternatively, you can click Add conferencing.

Note: Guests can forward the meeting link to other people. If someone tries to join who was not invited to the Calendar event, a meeting participant from your organization must accept their request.

1. Go to Google Calendar and create an event.
2. On the Guests tab, click Add guests and enter the email addresses.
3. Click Save.
4. Click Send to send the invites.

Guests receive an email with the event information and a link to the video meeting.

We are now seeing more and more functionality added to Google Meet that is making it a better choice than Zoom! One feature that is missing is an easy way to create virtual backgrounds, but thanks to Eric Chiu from GEG HK-Macao I just heard about Snap Camera an application you can download for Windows or Mac.

This application will add lots of fun to your online lessons and you will really get the attention of your students! Update! What is even better you can create your own backgrounds at Lens Studio

Once you have downloaded Snap Camera you will then need to click the 3 dots at the bottom right of your Google Meet window and select the Snap Camera from the list.
