5. Add a passcode to your meeting [4]. This will add another layer of security to your meeting. The passcode will become part of your meeting link so you can share the passcode with your students just by giving them the meeting link.
You can turn video on/off for yourself and your students [5] and also select whether you will allow students to call in to the meeting with their phone in addition to using the microphone on their computer [6]. Allowing students to use their phone to join their meeting is helpful in situations where the student may not have access to reliable internet.
