Google Meet has been updated to help support Teachers with Online Learning by giving them more control of the Meets. This includes being able to make Meets directly from Google Classroom, being able to mute/remove students, gives only the teacher the ability to approve participants who request to join, and prevent students from rejoining the Meet after you have left.
Here are some AMAZING resources:
Top 3 Recommended Chrome Extensions for Google Meet:

Important NEW Google feature for Google Meets:
Participants (both in-domain and out of domain) who are removed from the meeting can’t request access to re-join the meeting. If a participant’s requests to join a meeting are denied twice, they won’t be able to request to join the meeting again. In these cases, the meeting organizer can manually invite them back into the meeting (by clicking on People tab while in the meet and adding/inviting with their student ID #)

TIPS
- Ideally, use a laptop instead of your smartphone. If you use a smartphone, you’ll need the “Google Meet” app on your phone if you want to video chat. There is a separate phone number that can be called for audio-only.
- Maximum of 250 people can log on in the same meeting.
- Streaming up to 1000 people for community announcements
- Be aware of background noise; opt to turn off the microphone if you are not speaking.
- Make sure to allow Camera/Microphone access in your System Preferences under Security & Privacy for the browser that you will be using
Individuals can:
- Turn on Closed captioning.
- “Pin” one person in the meeting (that person’s video will remain on your screen). The default is that the video will toggle to whoever is the most recent speaker.
- Use the chat to ask questions while their microphone is muted.
