Google Meet is now integrated in Google Classroom!

Google Meet is now integrated in Google Classroom!
IFor each Google Classroom you have, you can now generate a unique Google Meet link for the students in that Classroom.

 The link for the Meet can be displayed on the Stream page and the Classwork page of the Classroom so you and your students can access it easily. You can use the same Meet link over and over again anytime you want to video conference with your students. 

However, the students cannot join the Meet without you, so they can't access the Meet before you are there, or rejoin the Meet after it is over and you have left.

Thanks to Eric Curts tweet  for posting the directions and a short 6-minute video that demonstrates all the steps. Google Meet and Classroom Integration is here!
