Video-conferences work well when one person is talking at a time; when many people are talking simultaneously, it becomes difficult to hear or understand anyone at all. We obviously want our students to participate fully in synchronous, online class sessions, but you may want to establish norms about how students should “raise their hands” before speaking. As a teacher is far less likely to see an actual raised hand in a video-conference, it may be helpful to ask students to type something into the shared chat if they would like to speak.

===Need a more robust video conferencing program?===
Zoom is a remote conferencing program similar to Google Hangouts Meet. In addition to all the features of Google Hangouts Meet, Zoom also allows:
*Annotation
*Video clip sharing
