Secure, Reliable Meetings in Canvas LMS, Powered by Google Meet

Last summer, we announced Google Meet LTI, an integrated application that gives students and educators who use Canvas an easy-to-use, reliable, and secure video conferencing tool. This integration is now available at no additional cost for Canvas users with Google Workspace for Education accounts. Once admins enable Meet LTI in the Google Workspace Admin Console, educators will be able to schedule and host Google Meet sessions directly within their Canvas courses, and experience the following benefits: 

Tightly integrated with Canvas: Start meetings and schedule calls directly within Canvas that only members of the course/class can join.

Secure and reliable: Only teachers and students within the Canvas course can join the Meet call, and thanks to the Google Workspace service-level agreement, it has 99.9% reliability. 

Easy to use: Designate multiple co-hosts for guest speakers, and with tile pairing you can make it easier to focus on key participants. Attendance reports enable you to see who joined and how long they stayed and for those who couldn’t attend class, you can easily save and share recordings.*

Engaging and inclusive: Create breakout rooms for smaller group engagement and make class more interactive with polls and Q&A. You can even engage your entire school community with live streaming and connect larger audiences with 1,000 attendees in Meet with 500 contributors and 500 viewers.*
