Be sure that ALL students are removed or leave the meeting after you are finished! After that, you should leave too!
Some folks have reported that if you don’t “hang up” and just wait for them to rejoin, there might be difficulties with students rejoining. If this is the case, hang up and rejoin your meeting.
*IMPORTANT*
If you are wanting to play video/audio that is NOT embedded in a document, when you go to Present Now in your Google Meet...
make sure you are choosing the CHROME TAB option (out of the 3 options) and select the tab where the video will be playing. This will allow for the system audio to play for participants.
