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

Pro-tip: if you want to automatically create Google Meet links for ALL your meetings, check out this support article from Google that shows you how to configure that on your account.

Start Meeting

  • If you create an Instant Meeting, then you're meeting will automatically start
  • If you created a Google Calendar Event, there are two ways to quickly star the meeting:
    1. Go to the calendar appointment, then click on Join now next to the meeting link
    2. Go to https://meet.google.com, then click on the corresponding link for your meeting on the right-hand side of the window
