It looks like they’re using four separate meetings. If I remember correctly, Google Meet didn’t have breakout rooms until October 2020

Couple of questions – First, what’s the purpose of having a separate room for quiet work? Couldn’t those students just stay in one of the other rooms and mute themselves? And second, you mentioned students staying in the “main room” — so is there a fifth room here that encompasses all the others? (If so, couldn’t that room turn into the “teacher room” when it’s time?)

I had the extension, it had access, I could see the “m” when I attempted to mute however I could still hear them. Any suggestions? Thank you!

One of our solutions is to open the four, but leave three of the meets, leaving the tabs open. As long as someone is still in the Meet it won’t close even if you’ve disabled student ability to create Meets.

When you want to leave a room, leave the Meet and enter another. This limits the streams coming in. It takes a few more seconds to move in and out, but your computer will thank you.

Ah! This is solid advice Tom! That does make it easier. Thanks for sharing this.

Either the long form meet.google.com/lookup/YOUR-CODE-HERE or the short form g.co/meet/YOUR-CODE-HERE. Codes need to be unique within your school because anyone in your school who goes to the same code at the same time will end up in a meeting together.
