Google Meet

Step 1: Using your newly created smail account, create a google group such as EE3005-2020 (put your course number in place of EE3005) and add all students of the course to the group. This is a one-time effort. See “How to create google groups'' on the internet for more help.

Step 2: Schedule a calendar event for online lecture using Google calendar. The picture below shows a calendar event for 1:00 to 2:00 pm E slot class on Monday, March 30, 2020.

Step 3: Once you save this, this event will appear in the calendar of all participating students. At the appointed time (Monday, March 30, 1:00 pm), go to hangouts.google.com and login using smail credentials. Click on “VIDEO CALL”. [Comment added 02/04/20: This step is not needed. Go directly to meet.google.com to see step 4]

Step 4: A new tag meet.google.com will open which looks like this. Click on your session (1:00 pm EE3005 Class below) and the class is on.

Step 5: Click on the bottom right corner on 3 vertical dots for more options. Choose “Record Meet” in the pop-up menu to start recording. Click on “Present Now” to share your screen. Choose the Window option to share and not the whole screen. You are ready for your talk. After some delay, recording begins and is indicated by a red REC display on the top left hand corner. To end, do the reverse. Click on “Stop Recording” on the pop-up.

Step 6: End the session by pressing the red “inverted phone”. After some delay, you will receive a mail from meet-recordings-noreply@google.com in your smail account. Click on the Google drive link for a record of the session. Copy the link and paste it in moodle for students to access it.
