Joining a Google Meet: Troubleshooting Guide
Using Google Meet is a great way of bringing a live in-person lecture right to the comfort of your home. If you are having trouble joining a Google Meet, please try one of these solutions:
Solution 1: Join Using Google Classroom
The easiest solution is to always join a Google Meet by clicking the link on your course’s main Google Classroom homepage. The link will always be the same and available directly underneath your course’s name. Since going into the Google Classroom page already requires you to be logged into your WUV email, this direct link on top of your Google Classroom page will have no issues.
Solution 2: Making WUV Email the Default Email
The second solution is to ensure that the default email on your web browser is your WUV email. Remember: you must be using your WUV email to join a Google Meet. When joining a Google Meet through the hyperlink on your My WUV course page, your browser will automatically redirect to using your default email which is why you may have difficulty participating in the meeting.To ensure your web browser’s default email is your WUV email, go to Gmail and login to your personal email. Once you are logged in, click your icon in the upper righthand corner.
A list of all your Gmail accounts will appear and it will show which is your default email on the right. If it is not your WUV email, click “Sign out of all accounts” on the bottom then login to your WUV email first.
Once your WUV email is your default email, clicking the Google Meet hyperlink on My WUV will work.
