IMPORTANT: TRANSITIONING FROM HANGOUTS TO MEET & CHAT

Picture
Recently, Google announced that they will be retiring Classic Google Hangouts. In August, Jeffco will officially transition from Classic Hangouts to  Meet and Chat. This means that Classic Hangouts will no longer be available. 

Meet and Chat are currently available on the web for those that are interested in trying out the communication tools (see document below for setup directions). 

​Here i
s the Official Communication 
Here is a Tech Tip to support the transition

Updates To Google Meet

Picture

Grid View is now part of Meet! Click on the three dots in the lower right-hand corner and then click on "Change Layout". Choose from 3 different layouts: Sidebar, Spotlight, and Tiled.  When using Tiled, you can see up to 16 participants at a time. 
You will want to delete the Grid View extension from Chrome if you previously added that.

​You can now find Google Meet in your Google Calendar! When you create a meeting, you can add a Google Meet to the calendar invite. You can take it one step further and create appointment slots. This would be a great way to set-up specific office hours for students. For support, contact the Ed Tech team.
