Do you know you can create a Google Meet link for your Google Classroom and use it to take online classes, meetings, assignments, exams, etc.?
It’s pretty straightforward to do all the classwork with these two applications. In this article, I will explain how you can use Google Meet in your Google Classroom. I will also discuss the requirements and some important factors of Google Meet and Classroom here.
Without ado, let’s begin.
Requirements to Operate Google Meet in Google Classroom
Google Meet and Google Classroom get popular during the COVID pandemic. Both of these applications are easy to use, and you can also effortlessly arrange meetings in Google Meet in your classroom.
You must fulfill some requirements to set up Google Meet in Google Classroom. You can’t join Google Meet from Google Classroom until you accomplish them.
Check out the following requirements to operate Google Meet in Google Classroom:
Need a Google Workspace Business or Education Account
First, you will require a Google Workspace Business or Education account and sign in to create a Google Meet link in Google Classroom.
You can’t find any Google Meet links if you have created classes in Google Classroom with your account. Because the meet link for Google Classroom isn’t available with the personal accounts.
Need Access from the G Suite Administrator
Secondly, you will need access from your admin to create a meeting link in Google classroom. However, you can create a meet link if you are the admin.
If you are not and have no access from your G Suite administrator, you will not have permission to create or edit the Meet link. Contact your admin to get an access message to the Meet section. 
How to Integrate Google Classroom with Google Meet
Once you accomplish the requirements, you can participate in the Google Classroom to link it with Google Meet. I will show both perspectives (teachers & students) to use a meet link in the Google Classroom.
Let’s see from the teacher’s perspective first.
Here are the steps to create a meet link in Google Classroom:

There will be pop-up messages when you are on the Google Meet website.
One pop-up message will ask permission to let it use your PC camera and microphone. Click on Allow to approve. 
If you want to disable the link for your students, toggle off the Visible to students options. They won’t see the link until you toggle it back on.
There can be a moment when you have to share the link with other people who don’t belong in the class or school. In that case, you can send the link by copying it from the Classroom settings.
Press on the small dropdown arrow in the Classroom settings and select Copy. To generate a new unique meet link, just click on Reset. 
The link lets anyone from within or outside your institution join the meeting.
Now let’s see from the student’s perspective.

Additional Important Factors on Google Meet
There are some essential factors you need to notice when using Google Meet. Check those out below.
Here are some significant factors on Google Meet:
The Teacher or Host Must Present Before the Meeting Starts
A student can only participate in a meeting with a teacher present. If a student or participant tries to enter the meeting before the instructor or teacher attends, he will have to wait until the meeting starts.
Not Everyone Can Join the Meeting Automatically
The meeting link is only open to registered students in the organization. If anyone outside the organization wants to join the meeting using a meet link, he will require a teacher’s, co-teachers, or host’s approval. Until then, he can’t join.
The Host of the Meeting Must Leave at the Last
If you are the teacher or host, make sure you are the last person to leave the meeting from Google Meet. Otherwise, someone can misuse the meet link.
Wait a while until everyone leaves. Or you can remove all the attendees from the meeting by yourself.
When you dismiss someone from a meeting, they can’t re-enter there. If you want to join them again, you must invite them back or approve them to rejoin.
To remove a person from the list, click on the people icon. Tap on the three-dot icon, select Remove from the call, and press Remove. Do this for all the students who haven’t left yet. 
Once all are gone, you can simply disconnect the call to get out of the meeting.
The Google Meet Settings Can Be Changed Anytime
The host or moderator can change the meeting settings anytime. If you can’t change the settings before the meeting starts, you can modify them while you are in the meeting.
The host, teacher, co-teacher, and moderator can modify the settings. They also can dismiss students, mute any participants, and control the meeting rooms.
