Create Meeting

Creating a Google Meet meeting can be done in several ways. Google Meet integrates fully with Riverdale Google accounts, and because of that there are a couple of ways you can get started.

Create Instant Meeting

Creating an instant meeting will bring you directly to the video call. From there, you can invite guests directly, but it won't show up on your Calendar. These instant meetings are typically good for quick, non-recurring video calls.

  1. In your browser, go to Google Meet
  2. Click New meeting
  3. Click Start an instant meeting

Create Meeting in Google Calendar

If you create a Google Meet video conference in Google Calendar, all calendar invitees will automatically receive the correct link to join. This method is recommended if you know a video call will be necessary in advance of the event/meeting.

  1. In your browser, go to Google Calendar
  2. Click on Create on the top left of the window
  3. Click on Event
  4. Add the relevant Event Details (title, description, location, time, date, etc.)
  5. Add a Google Meet link to your calendar appointment
    • If you've typically used Zoom in the past, click Add video conferencing, then click Google Meet
  6. Invite our people to your meeting as you usually would for a calendar invite
  7. Click Save
