Use Google Meet for Conferences
If your Parent-Teacher conferences is scheduled using Google Meet this year, follow this guide. You will receive an invite to your portion of the meeting and will meet with parents and family remotely. The basic setup is outlined below:
- Families will join the first teacher meeting at the scheduled time
- During the first meeting, the teacher automatically becomes the meeting host
- Teachers will add the parents/family as co-hosts
- Teachers will leave the meeting (and not end the meeting)
- Families will meet with subsequent teachers on the same Meet call without closing it
Make Parents/Family Co-hosts
If you are the first scheduled Parent-Teacher conference, you (as the teacher) will need to make sure to add the parents/family as co-hosts so that they can continue using the same meeting link after your scheduled meeting block has ended. To do this:
- Click on the participants icon (people)
- Click on the three vertical dots next to the family member(s)
- Click on Add as co-host
Leave Google Meet Call vs. Ending Meeting
Teachers, after your scheduled time with parents and family, make sure you click Just leave the call (if you are given that option).
Note: DO NOT select End the call for everyone. Parents and family will be using the same Google Meet link for subsequent meetings, and they will need to admit teachers to the same call.
Other Platforms (Zoom)
Make Parents/Family Meeting Hosts
- In the host controls, click Participants
- Hover over the participant you want to make the host and click More
- Click Make Host.
- Click Yes to confirm
Leave Zoom Call vs. Ending Meeting for All
When you click on End Meeting, click Leave Meeting when prompted to.
Note: DO NOT click End Meeting for All, since that will end the meeting for all the participants as well. Parents and family need the meeting to stay open so they can meet with subsequent teachers in the same location.
If you didn't already assign a new host, you will have a choice to Assign a New Host. Once you've clicked on the proper participant, then you can select Assign and Leave.
