[ARCHIVED] Documentations for Google Hangouts Meet in Canvas?

[markzajac]

Ahoy!

In her March 13, 2020 blog entry, Tara Gunther, VP of Partnership at INSTRUCTURE wrote this:

If you would like to connect with students using Google Hangouts Meet as your conferencing tool, you have the ability to add a Hangout to your Canvas Course, Course Announcement, or Module. The Google Meet will start when you join and will run until all users leave. You do not have to update the link to start a new session. When you’re ready for your next class to start, the same link will create a new Google Meet.

Could someone please direct me to CANVAS documentation of this feature?

Here is a link to the blog post in question: https://bit.ly/2vXV1dp

Thank you!

Thank you for a prompt reply with exactly the information that I needed.

I hate to seem ungrateful but -- are those screen captures of the documentation? --  the fine print is illegibly fine.  Is there a link to the original PDF or web page?

Thank you again for a prompt, informative reply at a time when there must be an avalanche of questions.

Hi  @markzajac ‌,

Your wish is my command! You can view and download a PDF of the instructions directly at Google Meet in Canvas, and that file has also been linked on the original document. Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

Thanks!

Emily

Oh dear, I am not really comfortable with "commanding" anybody.  You had already been so helpful!

I am delighted!  I am the sort of person who "reads the fine print" but that was not possible with the original ".png" files.

Thanks again!
