Using Google Meet in the Classroom Application

The update to the Classroom e-learning platform introduced several important changes, as described below:

The settings for the Meet link, as well as the link itself, have been placed on the main page of the class on the left side. From this position, the link can be reset, copied, and its visibility for students can be adjusted. After creating the link to the meeting, a green Join button will appear, so there is no need to post the link in the stream.

We recommend posting links in the stream for meetings that were created outside of Classroom (e.g., in Google Calendar).

  1. The main teacher creates the link to the class in Classroom and starts the meeting in Google Meet. From this point, the teacher is the Organizer of the meeting.
  2. Each subsequent teacher invited to Classroom will only act as the Host of the meeting.
  3. Difference between Organizer and Host: In general, the Organizer is always the Host, but the Host does not necessarily need to be the Organizer. The Host always inherits access rights from the Organizer.
  4. The meeting Organizer is the creator of the link to the class. For a Host to become the Organizer, the Meet link must be reset.
