Google Meet
Be Careful: There are increased reports of unwanted guests entering virtual meeting spaces. Do not post your Google Meet link publicly or on social media. Share your video conference links in locations that are only accessible by your students.
How Do I?
NEW features allow you to prevent students from entering a Meet without you!
Use Meet for Distance Learning
Set up appointment booking: Reusing the same virtual meeting room.
Appointment booking w/individual Meet links: Great for counselors and SLPs
