How to lead a remote video meeting with your partner class using another tool such as Zoom or Google Meet

1. Decide with your partner teacher which other video tool would work best for the two of you.
2. Choose one teacher to create a meeting link for this other video tool call (e.g. you or your partner’s Zoom Personal Meeting link, Google Meet link).
3. Schedule a date and time with your partner teacher for the class-to-class video meeting by discussing together and scheduling a meeting.  
   
   
4. At the time of the meeting: In your dashboard, click the "Join with Zoom" or "Join with [other video tool]" button on your meeting card that appears on your dashboard.
