Google Meet Instructions

To create a new meeting link/dial-in:

• Anyone with a GEFD email account can create a meeting. 

• To create a meeting link/dial-in, simply go to meet.google.com, log in with your GEFD account, and click "new meeting." 

• You will be able to choose whether to start a meeting immediately or, alternatively, create a meeting link and dial-in to distribute for a future meeting. 

• Once created, the link will continue to work indefinitely (for instance, we always use the same link for our monthly meeting).

To open/join a meeting:

• Once the meeting is created, dial-in users can join at any time. 

• To use the web interface, at least one person with a GEFD account must join the meeting with their GEFD login. 

• Any person logged in with a GEFD account can immediately join any meeting for which they have the link, but others using the web interface will be put in a waiting room and must be admitted to the meeting by a GEFD user who is already in the meeting.
