Google Hangouts Meet Help
All Google apps work best when used in the Chrome browser. This includes Hangouts Meet, Google Classroom, Google Docs, etc.
Getting started
- If students grades three-12 are using a school-issued Chromebook, they are logged into Chrome upon signing into the Chromebook. No extra steps are needed.
- If students do not have a school-issued Chromebook, it is recommended that parents download the Chrome browser. Click on the following link for the download: Google Chrome Browser Download.
- If students are using the Chrome browser and are having issues joining a meeting, then someone else may be logged into Chrome. That person would need to log out of the Chrome browser and the student would need to log on.
Join a video meeting using a meeting link
- Open the email with the meeting link and click on the link.
- Click Ask to join.
- When someone in the meeting gives you access, you will join it.
Camera and microphone
A message will come up asking for access to the camera and/or microphone. Click yes. Please note, not all computers have a camera. If the computer does not have a camera, the student will use audio only.
Not hearing any sound? Make sure the volume is not muted, and that the volume is turned up high enough to hear.
