Google Meet

Google Meet is part of R-MC's Google Suite (or G-Suite) that includes Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. R-MC faculty, students, and staff enjoy unlimited cloud storage using their R-MC username and password. Documents in this storage space can be shared with others and accessed wherever you have internet access.

To log into your G-Suite account, browse to https://www.google.com.

• Type your R-MC username and click “Next”. You will land on the R-MC Single Sign-On (SSO) screen:

• Enter your R-MC username and password to sign in.

Once you are signed in, your first-name initial appears on the top right (see the red arrow). Click the waffle menu (next to your initial) to see the Apps, including Meet.
