Google Meet is a more business-oriented edition of Hangouts available to Google Workspace customers, including RoboJackets. We use it for larger remote meetings, including Core meetings during the summer. Note that you will need a RoboJackets Google Workspace account to set up a meeting.
Comparison to Hangouts
- Google Meet supports up to 100 participants compared to 10 for Hangouts.
- Users without a RoboJackets Google Workspace account must be explicitly invited to the meeting in advance, or ask to join and then be approved by someone with a Google Workspace account. With Hangouts, anyone can join using the link.
- Any participant can mute any other participant by clicking the microphone icon next to their avatar.
- Users may join via phone using the dial-in number and PIN provided.
How to schedule a meeting in advance
- Visit calendar.robojackets.org and create an event.
- In the Video call section, click "Add video call".
- Add guests using the right sidebar. Note that you should only add Gmail addresses, otherwise they won't be able to join directly.
- Click Save.
Guests will be able to view the meeting the day of at meet.google.com. They'll also be to join the meeting using the direct URL or meeting code without approval.
How to start an impromptu meeting
Visit meet.google.com and click "Start a new meeting". You can then distribute the link to participants. Note that unless they have a Google Workspace account, you will have to manually approve them as they join - you'll hear a ding and a notification box will appear.
