Google Meet
For teachers and educators
Google Meet provides a safe and secure way for educators to host video sessions with a group of
students in real-time from a computer or mobile device. Google Meet is an approved CPS tool and is in
compliance with our Acceptable Use Policies for communication between a teacher and a group of
students. However, one-to-one Google Meet video sessions between an adult and an individual student
that is not accessible to other students or staff are prohibited.
When using Google Meet, teachers and other educators should utilize the recording feature within the
tool to archive the lesson for future use. Teachers and educators should make sure all participants have
left the Google Meet session before ending the recording and closing the session. When recording a
Google Meet lesson, teachers and other educators must notify students that the lesson will be recorded
and archived for future viewing.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create and join, record, and manage
participants in a Google Meet with students.
*Please note that as we receive input from our educators and Google makes updates to better
ensure the safety of our students and educators, these instructions are subject to change and
should be reviewed frequently for new information.
