Joining an Online Summer Tutoring Session in Google Meet

Getting Started

Open Google Chrome, and click the link provided in your tutoring schedule for the appropriate subject. This will bring you to the Google sign-in screen.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you DO NOT have a Google account, you will need to follow Creating a Google Account steps first. If you have a Google account created, follow the Log In steps.

Creating a Google Account

Start by clicking on Create Account.

Fill out your first and last name, your email address (This can be ANY email, not just a Google email), and a password. Click Next.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Google will send a confirmation email to the email you enter. You will need to open this email to confirm setting up the Google account. Take this into consideration, and plan your tutoring session accordingly if you're using an email you can't access right away.

The email Google sends will have a verification code. Type the numbers from the email where it says Enter Code, and then click Verify.

Google requires you to enter your birthday and your gender. You can skip entering a phone number, as it's optional. Click Next.

You must accept Google's privacy and terms. Scroll down and click I Agree.

Once you click I Agree, you will be able to join the meeting.

Note: You can skip the Log In section and go to Joining Session.
