About Gmeet Live Classes
As Google Meet currently does not provide any API/SDK for creating meetings directly (https://support.google.com/meet/thread/63731528?hl=en), to create a Gmeet Live Class or Meeting in Smart School you should create a Google Meet meeting manually from http://meet.google.com/new . After creating the meeting, just copy the meeting URL and enter it in the Smart School Gmeet Add Live Class or Meeting form.
Google Meet Live Class Workflow: The Superadmin/Admin/Teacher needs to get a Google meeting link from their Google Account and use this meeting URL when adding a Live Class or Live Meeting; then students can join the live class or staff can join the meeting, and we can check the join report.
Note: Google Meet Live Class is a Smart School add-on, so to use it you should purchase it separately and install it in your Smart School.
