Update (01-07-20) The Google Meet Classroom integration should not be used. This allows students and teachers to have a nicknamed Google Meet link at the top of a Google Classroom page. This should not be used as students are able to rejoin a Meet after a teacher has left, until they refresh or leave their Classroom page.
The following settings provide instructions on how teachers can create a Meet while preventing students from joining/rejoining without a teacher being present:
1. Navigate to https://meet.google.com and select Join or Start a meeting.
Teachers should create the Meet in advance (maybe 5 minutes) of students trying to join or they will receive the error "You can't join this video call" possibly resulting in students not joining at the scheduled time.
2. Enter a nickname in the text box - this can be used again, so a class or teacher name (e.g. Year5 or 5G) is recommended so students can remember for next time.
Nicknames are unique to the school so external users cannot join. Using a nickname prevents students from joining if the teacher is not in the Meet. It also prevents students from rejoining once the teacher leaves.
3. After the lesson has finished, teachers must ensure that all pupils leave the Meet before they leave. This can take place in two ways:
Students can disconnect via the Leave Call or phone icon at the bottom of their screen.
Teachers can forcefully remove students from the Meet by selecting the People icon in the top-right, selecting the user to remove and clicking the Remove from Meeting button ( - ).
As a warning, if the teacher leaves before all pupils have left, students still in the Meet will be able to remain and continue talking until they leave.
Just to note, there is a specific but unlikely scenario for a pupil to be able to rejoin the Meet after the teacher has left:
A pupil would need to be on the Join now screen shown just before joining the actual meeting (if they aren't on this screen when the teacher leaves, they will not be able to rejoin).
The teacher would be in the process of leaving the Meet.
The teacher can check the Meet to see if anyone has rejoined afterwards by returning to meet.google.com and entering their nickname. The Join now screen list if any students have rejoined using this method without revealing that the teacher is present.
Payment details can be saved within a pupil account, so theoretically if a parent did accidentally purchase something using a school account, it would prompt them to save the information to the browser.
To prevent any payment information from being saved, please change the following options:
Login to Google Admin.
Hamburger menu > Devices > Chrome > Settings
Select Pupils OU
Under the User Experience section: set Form auto-fill - Never auto-fill forms, set Payment methods - Always tell websites that no payment methods are saved.
The following settings provide instructions on how to add the extension Google Meet Grid View for teachers to view more than 16 participants in a Meet:

2. Select Devices > Chrome Management > User and browser settings > from the Settings drop down, select Apps and extensions.
3. Select the OU that you wish to deploy the extension at - this should be Teaching Staff if just for teachers.
4. Select the + icon in the bottom right > Add Chrome App or extension by ID > enter the extension ID kklailfgofogmmdlhgmjgenehkjoioip > Save > Save.
