Conferencing Options with Google Calendar
Manhattan College users have the option to add conferencing options to Calendar Events. When creating an event in Google Calendar, make sure to set the conferencing option to Hangouts Meet. This will associate a meeting code with that event, allowing you and other people to join a conference using the invitation sent to them or the meeting code. Note that with G Suite for Education, you can have up to 25 people simultaneously connected to the meeting.
Please review this tutorial on how to get started with Hangouts Meets
Hangouts Meet Dial In Option
A feature that was recently added is the option for Dialing into a Hangouts Meet via telephone. When a calendar event is created with the Hangouts Meet conferencing option selected, the Dial In option will automatically be enabled. Along with the meeting code, you will also find a telephone number and pin number, which will be used to enter a video conference using only a telephone. This is especially useful when you’re away from your computer, like if you're commuting or don't have a data connection, and you need to call into your Meetings while on the go.Note that this dial-in feature uses an international phone number, which allows meeting participants in other countries to join the meeting.
