Google have made some changes to the G Suite for Education offering within Glow which impacts staff’s ability to conduct Glow Meet sessions with non Glow users. Following the update staff will only be able to conduct face to face video meetings via Google Meet in Glow with users who are signed into Google with either their Glow Google account (@my.glow.scot) or a recognised Google account. This means that Google Meets can no longer take place with users who were previously joining with other types of email accounts (hotmail, outlook, or moray.gov.uk) or joining the meeting by entering a display name prior to joining.
External guests can still join Google Meets, but they will have to be signed into a Google account to do so. This will mean that the host will see the user name and email address when the guest tries to join the Meet rather than the name they had typed prior to joining.
Please note Google Meet is not enabled in Moray to allow learners to participate in face to face online sessions when accessing Google Meet via their Google account in Glow.
