# Setting Up Google Meet for Distance Learning - GSP980

## **Overview**

Google Meet is a voice and video communication service. As part of [Google Workspace for Education](https://edu.google.com/products/workspace-for-education/), Google Meet provides easy-to-use, reliable, and secure video conferencing to connect your school community with video for classes, parent-teacher conferences, professional development, and more.

In this lab you will learn how to set up and manage Google Meet from the Google Workspace Admin Console and use Google Meet features available to teachers for distance learning.

### What you'll do

*   Set up Google Meet
    
*   Manage features that support distance learning
    
*   Use Google Meet as a teacher
    
*   Use Google Meet as student
    

## **Google Meet**

Google Meet allows you to start and join video and audio meetings. It integrates seamlessly with Classroom and other Google Workspace for Education products to make joining and presenting in a class or conference easy. Teachers use Google Meet for distance learning to:

*   Start and join video meetings in Classroom using a dedicated link for a class
    
*   Use moderation features to control participation
    
*   Get attendance reports
    
*   Start a video meeting from Gmail
    
*   Control access to video meetings
    

Google Meet can also be used for meetings with parents, students, teachers, and other support staff.

## **Task 1. Setup and requirements (Admin)**

### Before you click the Start Lab button

Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which starts when you click **Start Lab**, shows how long Google Cloud resources are made available to you.

This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities in a real cloud environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new, temporary credentials you use to sign in and access Google Cloud for the duration of the lab.

To complete this lab, you need:

*   Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).
    

**Note:** Use an Incognito (recommended) or private browser window to run this lab. This prevents conflicts between your personal account and the student account, which may cause extra charges incurred to your personal account.

*   Time to complete the lab—remember, once you start, you cannot pause a lab.
    

**Note:** Use only the student account for this lab. If you use a different Google Cloud account, you may incur charges to that account.

### Start your lab

When you are ready, click **Start Lab** in the upper left.

### Sign in to the Google Workspace Admin Console

To access the Google Workspace Admin Console, you must find your credentials and then sign in.

#### **Find your lab's User Email and Password**

To access the resources and console for this lab, locate the **User Email** and **Password** in the Lab Details panel. This panel is on the left or at the top, depending on the width of the browser window. Use these credentials to log in to the Google Workspace Admin Console.

If your lab requires other resource identifiers or connection-related information, they appear on this panel as well.

#### **Sign in to the Admin Console**

1.  Click **Open Google Workspace Admin Console**.
    

***Tip:*** Open the tabs in separate windows, side-by-side.

**Note:** If you see the **Verify your account** dialog:

*   Click **Next**.
    
*   Click the prefilled user.
    
*   Click **Use another account**.
    

2.  On the Sign in page, log in using the **User Email** and **Password** details provided.
    
3.  When prompted, click **I understand** and **ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICE** to accept all terms and conditions.
    
4.  Click **Get set up** to continue.
    

After a few seconds, the *Admin Console* opens.

5.  Right-click **Verify** in the red box at the top or right-click on **Verify domain** on the red box in the *Domains* card, and select **Open link in new tab**.
    
    **Note:** To complete this step in a real-life scenario, you'd need to add an actual DNS record.
    
6.  Click the new tab, called **Domain setup**, to complete the Google Workspace domain verification steps.
    
7.  On the *Let's set up your domain* page, click **Get Started**.
    
8.  On the *Choose how to verify your domain* page, click **Other verification options**.
    
9.  From the **Domain host** dropdown, select **Other** as a domain host and then click **Continue**.
    
10.  At the bottom of the *Add verification code* page, select the **Come back here and confirm once you have updated the code on your domain host** checkbox, and then click **Confirm**.
     
11.  Wait until it says **Your domain is verified!** and then close the *Domain setup* tab.
     
     **Note:** Do not click **Activate Gmail**.
     
12.  Return to the **Admin Console** tab and refresh the page.
     

This lab provides a temporary Google Workspace Enterprise account. There are a number of differences between the Enterprise and Education versions so that options in the Google Admin Console in this lab may slightly differ from options in the Education version of the Google Admin Console. For example, an Education version allows services to be restricted based on age. This feature is not available in the Google Workspace version used in this lab.

### Add OUs to the domain

Before users can access Google Meet or other apps and services in your domain, called Google Workspace Labs, the Workspace admin must add them to the domain. In this section, as an admin, you will:

*   Create a role-oriented structure by adding 2 child OUs (organizational units) called Teachers and Students to the top-level domain (Google Workspace Labs).
    

### Create teacher and student OUs

Create a role-oriented organizational structure in a top-level OU with 2 child OUs.

1.  On the Google Admin Home page, in the **Main menu** (
    
    ![Navigation menu icon](https://cdn.qwiklabs.com/tkgw1TDgj4Q%2BYKQUW4jUFd0O5OEKlUMBRYbhlCrF0WY%3D align="center")

### Control Access

When you (as a teacher) create a Google Meet link for the class, you become the host. You control who can access video meetings and how video meetings are accessed. In this section, you configure Google Meet as follows for your History class:

*   The video meeting starts when the teacher joins.
    
*   When students try to join, they enter a waiting room until a teacher joins the meeting.
    
*   After the meeting starts, students in the class don't have to ask to join the meeting.
    
*   Anyone who's not in the class must first ask to join, and the teacher decides whether to let them join.
    

To configure meeting access:

1.  Still on the class page in Classroom, click **Join** to launch Google Meet.
    
2.  Click **Join now**. Your meeting starts.
    
3.  Click **Host controls** (

    ) in the bottom right.
    
4.  Slide **Host management** on.
    

This lets you restrict what participants can do in the meeting. For example, when **Host management** is on, you can mute everyone on the call.

5.  Scroll down to **Meeting access** and, if needed, slide **Host must join before anyone else** off.
    

When Meeting access is off:

*   The host must join first
    
*   Only people invited by the host can join without asking
    
*   Everyone else must ask to join, including people who dial in
    
*   Only hosts can dial out of a meeting
    

6.  Click **X** in the upper right of the **Settings** dialog to close the dialog.
    

Stay in this meeting for the next section.

### Mute Participants

If there's feedback or background noise, you can mute others. Only meeting creators, calendar event owners, or those who set up the meeting on an in-room hardware device can mute others.

Since 2 participants are required to view the mute option, join the meeting as a student to have 2 participants:

1.  Return to the History class page and click **Join** to launch Google Meet in a new browser tab.
    
2.  In the upper right, next to the user avatar, click **Switch account**.
    
    ![The Switch account option highlighted on the UI](https://cdn.qwiklabs.com/U7Ic%2BNEJJM4Yh4%2FcvHKpTosRMqGDBtyayxM2Ycsbeh8%3D align="center")
    
3.  Click **Use another account**.
    
4.  Sign in using the email and password you previously recorded for the user in the Students OU.
    
5.  Create a new password, maybe something like “luv2Learn”.
    

**Note:** Because the student was not invited to the class in Classroom, they are not considered invited participants to this meeting and must ask the host to join.

6.  Click **Ask to join** to enter the meeting.
    
7.  In the teacher's meeting window, click **Admit**.
    

You now have two meeting windows open in two browser tabs, one for each participant. In each meeting window, you see 2 user avatars. Notice the "You" next to the user avatar shows which participant is using that meeting window.
