Google Classroom gaining updated video meetings control
Google Classroom is getting some neat update for video meeting link.
The class meet link will now be moved down to the left part of the class stream, and teachers will be able to manage the link. If any students join the meet before the teacher, they will be redirect to the waiting room until a teacher enter it.
If the person joining isn't in the class roaster, they will have to "ask to join" and be admitted by the teacher before they can enter. All co-teachers of the class who enter the meet will be granted with co-hosts role automatically. Google is also working hard to implement host status auto-update by the end of the year.
