Purpose of this Document
This document will provide information on new features included with Google Meet.
Google has finally updated Google Meets to give the host of the meetings some much needed control of the meeting. Now when you start a meeting you will notice a blue shield icon bottom left by your name. This is the meeting safety host control settings that have been added. Here we see 3 options “Quick access; Share their screen; Send chat messages”.
Share their screen: When not selected will prevent participants in the meeting, other than the host, from sharing their screens.
Send chat messages: When not selected will prevent participants in the meeting, other than the host, from sending chat messages.
Quick access: When turned off the host will be notified and given the option to accept or deny anyone not specifically invited to the meeting tries to join. When turned on only those Google accounts outside of their network (not a @jpschools.org google account) tries to join the meeting will the host be notified.
Anyone who needs host permission to join will see the following option when trying to join a meeting.
If they “Ask to join” the host will see the following message appear on their screen giving them the option to deny and block entry or to admit access to the meeting.
