Google Meet is a video conferencing service that enables you to join virtual meetings via audio, video, chat, and screen sharing. There are no time limits, and telephone dial-in to a U.S. phone number is provided; dial-out is free to the United States and Canada.
Google Meet is one of the core services in G Suite for Education, which means it is free to the entire university. While Google Meet is primarily used with a web browser, you may also use Android and iOS mobile-device apps or Chrome devices.
Starting a meeting
University members can start a new video meeting using any one of these methods:
Joining a meeting
There are a number of ways to join a Google Meet session, including
- a Google Calendar event
- the Google Meet website (with an optional meeting code)
- a meeting link URL
Re-usable, custom meeting URLs
Did you know you can create a Google Meet URL with your own custom meeting nickname? And then you can re-use it as a standing meeting room for university participants.
- Visit meet.google.com.
- Select Join or Start a meeting.
- When prompted, enter a custom meeting nickname.
A nickname is a meaningful phase, such as “our-meeting”. - Select Continue and then Join now.
You may now bookmark the meeting URL and re-use it later. The meeting will retain the nickname.
