Prevent students from reusing class meetings—To make sure students don’t rejoin a class meeting after it has ended, use nicknamed meetings instead of starting a meeting from a Google Calendar event. Even if you reuse the same nickname, participants will not be able to rejoin nicknamed meetings after the final participant has left and the 10-digit meeting code will no longer work.
To create a nicknamed meeting, use one of the following methods:
-
- Use a short link like g.co/meet/nickname.
- Go to meet.google.com or the Meet mobile apps and enter a meeting nickname in the “Join or start a meeting” field.
- Use the Meet code automatically generated by Google Classroom
