Managing Google Meet Attendees

Google Meet has a built-in set of security settings to ensure that Saint Peter's Faculty, Staff and Students can create and join meetings, and can restrict non-Saint Peter's email addresses from joining a meeting unless admitted. The meeting organizer can also remove participants from a meeting. This article demonstrates how to invite, manage and remove Google Meet session attendees.

Google Meet has built-in security controls to restrict and manage access to Google Meet sessions.  The instructions to do so are below:

	If a member of the Saint Peter’s community clicks a Google Meet link while logged into their SPU email account, they will come to this screen where they have the option to Join Now.
	Anyone not logged into a Saint Peter's email address will be prompted to Ask to Join.  Until they are admitted, they will remain in a virtual waiting room.
	While they are waiting the organizer will receive a pop-up message informing them of the join request and prompting them for a response.  If they choose to deny the request, the requester will receive a notification of such and be blocked from entering the meeting.
	Within a Google Meet session that is underway, it is also possible to invite participants. Once inside the meeting, this can be done by clicking the People icon at the lower right and selecting the Add People button to bring up a dialog where you can invite people by email or phone.
	Also from the People icon, you can mute and unmute individual participants, remove them from the meeting, or select a participant as a co-host.
