How to Use Google Hangouts Meet in Google Classroom

Last week Google introduced a new way to incorporate Google Meet (AKA Google Hangouts Meet) into Google Classroom. The old method still works as well. In fact, I had already scheduled some meetings with the old method so that’s what I used with my students this morning. Moving forward I’ll be using the new method. Both methods for scheduling and hosting Google Hangouts Meet events are featured in my new video that is embedded below.
