With one click! Students can find the Google Meet for their class posted directly within their Google Classroom. Simply open the Google Classroom, and look for the "Meet Link" visible in the top banner.

No - Google Meet is web-based, meaning it will run directly in the Chromebook's browser. Students using Google Meet on their iPad will find the Google Meet application has been downloaded and updated automatically.

• Classroom Meets are limited to students: In its latest update, Google Meet has now automatically restricted Google Meets to students who are confirmed members of the associated Google Classroom.

• Encryption by default: In Meet, all data is encrypted in transit by default between your device and Google.

• Unique meeting IDs: Each Meeting ID is 10 characters long, with 25 characters in the set, so it’s difficult to make an unauthorized attempt to join the meeting by guessing the ID.

• Protection against reusing finished meetings: Students can’t rejoin meetings once the final participant has left, unless they have meeting creation privileges to start a new meeting. This means if the instructor is the last person to leave a meeting, students can’t join again until an instructor restarts the meeting.

• No plug-ins required: To limit the attack surface and eliminate the need to push out frequent security patches, Meet works entirely in your web browser, eliminating the need to download and update plug-ins.

• Hand raise, to help students indicate if they have a question or want to speak without disrupting the class.

• Breakout rooms, used by educators to host small group discussions or working time. Teachers can easily jump between the different breakout rooms before bringing everyone back to the main discussion.

• Q&A, allowing students to submit and upvote questions from the teacher for better group engagement.

• Polls, used by educators to quickly gather feedback from their students, oftentimes using it to identify topics that need more discussion or to test comprehension of a certain topic.

With one click! Invitations for Google Meets may be emailed out before a PPT (Planning and Placement Team) Meeting, Parent-Teacher Conference, or Open House event. Simply click the Google Meet link found in this digital invitation to join the Google Meet!

Note: participants will be unable to join until the Meet's host has begun the Meet. Until then, participants will be in a "waiting room".

Some PPT and parent-teacher meetings may take place over Zoom. Check with your child's teacher for more specifics.
