    • Click "Sign In" in upper right corner
    • Use "Sign in with Google" option
  • After sign in look for the "Meetings" tab in the left bar. 
  •  Select "Schedule a new meeting."
    • Insert Topic
    • Fill out description 
    • select date & time
    • select length of meeting
    • Generate meeting ID automatically
    • Meeting password is required (for security purposes DO NOT change this)
    • select whether host and participant video is on or off
      • Note: as host you can always turn on your video and allow others to turn on their video during the meeting at a later point
    • Meeting Options:
      • For maximum security DO NOT enable join before host
        • This will show participants a "host has not started meeting" pop-up if they sign in before the start of the meeting
      • Mute Participants on Entry 
        • This does as described and will not allow users to talk until the host has un-muted them in the "Manage Participants" bar.
      • Enable waiting room
        • As host you will need to allow them in by starting the meeting and checking your "Manage Participants" bar.
      • Only Authenticated users can join.
        • Do not disable this setting, it brings up an additional option of "Add watermark that identifies the viewing participant" so that their name cannot be changed from their email settings.
  •  Click "Save" at the bottom once done.

You can add the event to your calendar from here & invite participants from either the invitation or by adding them to the calendar event.
