Canvas Tutorials

Google Meet

Since Willamette uses Google Workspace, we have access to Google Meet as an alternative to Zoom for remote classes, synchronous and asynchronous teaching, and making recordings. 

Setting up Google Meet

• First, enable Google Meet in your course on your course settings page under the navigation tab (directions here: Getting Started in Canvas > Visible and Invisible / Active and Inactive Items).
• Look for the item "Google Meet (LTI 1.3)" in your inactive items list.
• Don't forget to click the Save button if you need to drag Google Meet into your active items list!

Create and Join Meetings

• Instructors: Create, edit & delete meetings

• Join Meetings in Google Meet

Recordings, Meet Artifacts

"Artifact" is Google Meet's term for recordings, transcripts, Q&A, attendance lists, and any other materials generated in a meeting. 

• Open Meet artifacts
• Meet recordings are automatically stored in your Google Drive, so you may want to clean out that folder periodically.

To begin recording:

• join the meeting
• click the 3 hamburger dots to view options
• select "Manage Recording." You will have the option to autogenerate captions and a transcript. Check the boxes for your preference, then click the blue "Start recording" button.

Viewing recordings and making recordings available: 

• after you end the meeting, Google Meet will process the recording
• Google will send you an email once the recording is ready; you can also find recordings by navigating to the "Google Meet (LTI 1.3)" page in your course and clicking the "Meet artifacts" tab
• to make recordings and other artifacts available to students, toggle the button that says "Share recordings with students" under the "Meet artifacts" tab
