Google Hangouts Meet, or just Meet, is Google's enterprise video conferencing software. This app is similar to the video calls in the free, consumer version of Hangouts, with a few additional features like real-time captions and support for up to 250 participants and 100,000 live stream viewers
If your mobile device can access G Suite, you can use that device to join a class video meeting. Access it here, or download the app.
Your teachers will schedule a meetup twice per week, check your google classroom for times but it will most likely be scheduled for your regualar class time - Ako1 - 9:00am : Ako 2 - 11:00am : Ako 3 - 1:30pm
Most teachers will have set up a Meet link at the top of your google classroom page. Video instructions can be found here.
To learn best practices for distance learning, review the Teacher’s Guide to Hangouts Meet.
Tip - Limit meets to 5 minutes or less.
When using Meet, participants can turn off their camera to show their profile photo instead. This can improve video meeting quality if internet speed is slow. If audio quality is poor, use a phone for audio instead.
For large classes, use a live stream instead of having students join an interactive video class meeting. To engage students while live streaming, you can use Google Slides Q&A. Or, you can pre-record a lesson to share later.
To help students who are deaf or hard of hearing, turn on live captions in Meet. To capture student responses for a recorded class, use Google Slides Q&A.
