Send a Google Meet Invite For Students
How to Send a Google Meet Invite? Google Meet is a video conferencing app that can be used on computers, smartphones, or tablets. It can be accessed from a Google Calendar invite or a Hangouts Chat link.[1]
Google recently introduced a new feature that allows users to turn their Meet conversations into transcribed text. The transcripts are saved alongside the original file and can be shared via email or a Google Doc.
How to Host a Meeting
Google Meet is a tele-conferencing application that allows secure video-conference meetings between two or more people. It is available on any device that can connect to the internet.[2] It is also a downloadable app that can be installed on an iOS or Android device.
You need to have a webcam and microphone in order to join a meeting using the Google Meet software. Guests can also join the meeting by phone only if you have set their telephone number to appear on your invite list.[3]
When you send a Meet invitation, it will be unique to each student’s class and will be displayed at the top of their Google Classroom. You must never share this code with students from outside your immediate class or with anyone who has not logged into the SCAS Google Classroom for your child’s class.
If you have not yet downloaded the Google Meet app, you can do so by going to the app store on your mobile device and searching for ‘Google Meet’. It will ask you to give permission for the application to have access to your device.
In addition to Google’s standard Hangouts platform, Meet is a business-focused edition of the popular chat tool that requires Google Suite.[4] Its main selling point is the ability to host meetings of up to 25 participants, a number that should be plenty for most small businesses and enterprises.
The app comes with Calendar integration and a four-piece hardware kit, reminiscent of HighFive. Its touchscreen controller lets an administrator mute and control the camera, while a speakermic cleans up audio by eliminating echo and background noise.
Another new feature is the ability to transcribe your meetings. Those who opt-in for this service will have the transcript saved alongside the original meeting in their ‘Meeting Recordings’ folder.[5]
Google has also announced that the app will soon automatically frame video before a meeting, so all participants have equal visibility. This should make the experience more transparent for both host and participant, especially in large meetings.

Once you have booked an appointment with a Student Accounts staff member, we will send you an email that includes a Google Meet link.[6] This is an online video conferencing service that allows screen sharing and is supported by most browsers. Students can join the meet from their computers, smartphones, or tabs as long as they have an internet connection and a working microphone/camera.
After you have accessed the Google Meet page, click on the meeting you would like to participate in. This will bring you to a screen where you can see the list of participants. You can also send messages to them or ask questions. If you are joining from a tablet or smartphone, you can tap the top right of your screen to present your screen to everyone in the meet. You can also turn off the video or audio by tapping on the Video or Microphone icon.[7]
If you are joining a live stream meeting, it is important to remember that this feature works best when you are connected to a high-speed internet connection. During your meet, you may want to turn off the feature to keep your Internet speed from slowing down too much.
In addition, before you join a meeting, Google Meet will tell you that the call is being transcribed. [8]This feature is a great addition to your meetings because it will allow you and the guests to look back at what was discussed in your session.

Using Google Meet with Students?
Students can use Google Meet to participate in meetings, whether they’re working on a group project or discussing an assignment with a faculty member. The feature works inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, which means students can access meeting information right in the document they’re editing.
To start a meeting, go to your Google Calendar and create an event. When you invite a student to the event, he or she will receive an email that includes a video meeting link and a telephone number. This is also a great way to schedule one-on-one virtual office hours.[10]
Alternatively, you can create a Google Hangouts Meet event. This will give you a more traditional conferencing experience and provide the option to add a screen share or other features. You can also share a Meet link directly with your students from within your Oxy email account, but the simplest method is to schedule a meeting through Google.[11]
When you get to the meeting landing page, you will be prompted to allow the application to use your computer’s microphone and camera. Once you’ve done so, you should see your webcam image, together with a green Join Meeting button.
Once you’re in the meeting, click on the record button in the lower right corner of the window. This will record your session in a high quality video.
Once you’ve recorded your meeting, it can be shared with others, or stored on your Google Drive for future reference. You can even send it to your colleagues in another department using a Google group email. [12]The coolest thing about this is that the recording includes an embedded video of your presentation in real time.

When you’re ready to start the meeting, click the “Join” button in the top right corner of the Meeting page. You’ll arrive in a Hangouts Meet waiting room where you can check your microphone and camera, turn on accessibility features like closed captioning, and test out screen-sharing.
During the meeting, you can share your screen by clicking the “Present” button at the bottom of the screen. You can also record your meeting, which will post to your Drive and show up on the host’s Meet grid view.
In addition, you can set up a temporary recording of your Google Meet session, which will allow others to access it for up to 30 days after the event is over. This will help to keep the meeting on track and make it easier to recall for the next time you need to review it.[15]
Guests can be inside or outside of your organization, and they can join the meeting without a code, as long as someone from your organization has given them access. They can forward the meeting invitation or details to others, but if they try to join who isn’t on the invite list, a meeting participant from your organization must accept their request.

For example, you can create a Google Meet event in your G Suite account and send an invitation to people in your organization.
The process is quite simple and the meeting experience is enjoyable for everyone involved. The most exciting thing about using this feature is that it works across multiple platforms, including mobile phones. [19]It’s also easy to send a meeting to other Hangouts users, whether they’re on the same computer or on the other side of the world.
If you are looking for a way to showcase your best work or simply have a little fun, consider scheduling a gifable video or even a Google Meet game show for your students. It’s a great way to keep kids active while learning the importance of teamwork and collaboration.

The invitation emails and the calendar event are automatically generated, so your email and the meeting details will look and feel like a part of the standard Gmail interface. Unlike other scheduling tools, Google Meet is integrated directly into the Gmail interface so you never have to leave the email page. And with Share Free/Busy, you can share a live snapshot of your calendar for three days, five days, or the entire next week, so your guest can see only your available times.
