Google Meet

Please be mindful not to use:

• Google Calendar generated links

• or links generated without a nickname from Google Meet

when creating meetings for students. At this moment in time, there is no way to close the meetings generated in those two methods to students. This may allow students to access the Meet before and after the teacher has left the meeting.

1. 1. If you would like the ability to view ALL participants in a grid format (similar to Zoom's default layout) during your meeting you will need:

      • Google Meet Grid View Chrome Extension

      • Note: You can share the link above to students for them to add the extension to their own Chrome accounts in order to have this view as well. When you add the extension, it is only for YOUR web browser.

   2. If you would like the ability for students to react using some simple emoji reactions that pop up on the screen or the ability to raise their hand so you can call on them you and your students would need to add:

      • Nod-Reactions for Google Meet Chrome Extension

   3. If you would like to use the space bar as a "hotkey" to easily mute/unmute your microphone, you can install this extension. This extension also defaults a "mute upon joining a meeting" setting.
