Changes to Google Meet, effective October 1
Since March 2020, UPEI, as a GSuite for Education customer, has been able to use the premium features normally available to the Enterprise G Suite for Education customers. Some of those premium features end beginning October 1, 2020, but Google Meet continues to be available to you and your students with these features:
- Support for up to 100 users (was 250)
- Recording sessions
- Apps for Android & iOS
- Presentations
- External Participants
- Secure Meetings
The features that will not be available, as of October 1, include live streaming and dial-in options. If you have requirements beyond Google Meet’s features, consider Blackboard Collaborate is an alternative.
For concerns or questions, please contact Donald Moses (dmoses@upei.ca). Should you need support learning about or using Blackboard Collaborate in your teaching, please contact the E-Learning Office (elearning@upei.ca).
