Through https://gmail.google.com on the left side by your folders. - Here Is An Example

For this to work, you must click the settings Gear on your classroom, scroll down to General, and turn on the Google Meet for your classroom. This is the easiest option because you can display it right at the top of your classroom as shown in the example.
The ability to use breakout rooms, polling and other new Google Meets features is available by request only. Please put in a Helpdesk Ticket to request this at https://help.portlandschools.org
Students cannot create their own Google Meets, but when you create a Google Meet you can share the link and phone joining info with students and they will be able to join and participate. For students the https://meet.google.com has no Create Meeting. - Example

K-2 iPads, Meet, Clever
Please note, there's no integration between Clever and Meet on iOS (iPad). The best way to proceed is to have kids sign in to the native Meet app on the iPad. The student will stay logged in unless they specifically logout on device. Suggestion: do this at school so a teacher can help them.
