Faculty: How to add a Google Meet to your Canvas Course

You have the ability to add a Google Hangouts Meet link to a course announcement in your Canvas course using the Google Meet integration with Canvas.

Add a link to a Google Hangouts Meet

1. Navigate to the rich text editor of an announcement by clicking on the edit button.
   
2. Select the ‘Apps’ dropdown list (indicated by the plug icon) and select Google Hangouts Meeting.
   • If you don’t see the app listed, navigate to View All and select it from the list. It will then appear in the drop-down list when you create a Google Hangouts Meet in the future.
     
     
3. Once you select the Google Hangouts Meet app, you will be prompted to grant Canvas access to authenticate with Google. Click ‘Grant Access’.

6. Students can use this link to join your meeting!
