Google Meet is a simple, reliable way to quickly host web meetings. It features a simpler interface than products like Zoom, which makes it ideal for meeting with students (virtual office hours) or even small classes.

First, login to Google Drive via the MyCanisius Portal Then, click the nine-box in the upper right corner, and scroll to find Web Meetings |
|
In the Meet landing page, click + Join or Start a Meeting. In the following screen your browser might prompt you to use your microphone and camera. Allow this, and you should see your webcam image, together with a green Join Meeting button. Click Join Meeting. |
|
Once you are in the meeting, you are presented with an Add others screen. There, you can copy the joining information to paste in an email to your other participant(s). If they are Canisius students, you can simply click "Add people" and enter their email addresses. Click "Send Invite," and Google will send them a personalized invitation to their email right away. As soon as they get the email invite, your participants can join the meeting. |
|
| At any time you can get the Joining information again by clicking the name of the meeting in the lower lefthand corner of the window. |

Other Possibilities
If you plan to host a online live remote class with multiple students, you can provide another way for students to easily reach the web meeting. Copy the link you see in step 4, under "Join Hangouts Meet," and post it into a module in D2L. That way, students can access the meeting without having to find the invite in their email. (You may need to manually approve their entry into the meeting, with a single click.)
