Google Meet Updates

Google is releasing many updates over the next six months to support safety and student engagement with their tools.

Google Meet now has a new feature called End Meeting for Everyone. When a teacher/host leaves a meeting, they will be prompted to either "Just Leave the Call" or "End the Call." When our teachers end their class meetings, they will choose "End the Call" which will end it for everyone. The next time your student looks to join their class meet, they will experience one or two screens.

When Students join a Google Meet from Google Classroom and the teacher has NOT started the Meet, they will see a screen stating they cannot create a meeting. The students will have to press the Reload button until they are prompted to join.

When Students join a Google Meet from Classroom, the teacher has started the Meet, but Quick Access is turned off, they will see a screen with the "Ready to join?" prompt. Students will click the Ask to join button and the teacher will the student into the meeting.
