We control the version our devices are allowed to update to and have them on version 85 as we never move to the latest version in case there are issues. Version 87 is now available so we have just increased the allowed version to 86. Once the Chromebooks update that should allow the students to see the background blur options. Currently there are no controls in the admin console to enable or disable this feature so we are confident this should resolve the issue. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: start;"> </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: start;">Original release notes from Google: </span></span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: x-small;">https://support.google.com/meet/answer/10058482?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: start;">Hope this information is helpful as you move forward.</span></span></p>

So we ask for safety reasons, that JCPS employees videoconferencing with <b>student participants</b> use only Google Meet. Students can <b>not start </b>their own Meets, however they can join any Meet that they are invited to or that the link is shared to them. Google has bumped up their security so that when the last person the leaves the Meet the <b>link can no longer</b> be used (so kids can't rejoin without the teacher)</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">So How do you create a Google Hangout/Meet with Students.</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Google Meet</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 154px; overflow: hidden; width: 396px;"><img height="154" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/WvfK97nhKOz9XQg34pDjpo2e6-Ws4ilZeCPWZkbBRXkSDekLW4hQB3hAe5elkps5MF4y1U7UxCdiY46P8npBRLx_9iO5uzMHfhRrk2SHZaoyMh9azuz9o7BM3S54Eip-1h4PNywu" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="396" /></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Step 1: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Sign into your Google Account</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Step 2: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Go to </span><a href="http://meet.google.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">meet.google.com</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">    </span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Step 3:</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> Click Start a meeting to get the link and share it with your participants and you are off and running.
