With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to escalate, teaching remotely from home must be tough, if managing a classroom full of children wasn’t hard enough. Luckily, you can make the most of the situation by teaching online and ensuring that you still have a strong relationship with your students by the time school/college reopens.

We've put together this Google Meet for Teachers guide to help you get started hosting online classes, meeting and communicating with your students, and getting started teaching in no time.

Google Meet, formerly known as Hangouts Meet, is a video conferencing tool that’s similar to Zoom in terms of letting you talk to your friends, family, colleagues, and more, with or without video. As a teacher, you can remotely deliver lessons to your students, record them for summarizing, share what’s on your screen, and more using Google Meet.

In terms of features, Google’s business video conferencing solution includes large group meetings, live streaming, screen sharing, mute, video mute, real-time captions, and more. You can also generate links for others to join a meeting, use 25-character meeting IDs, and restrict external members from joining a meeting on Meet.
