hi everybody welcome back this is mr campbell from mr campbellrocks.com with another tutorial this is
an updated tutorial for the google meet attendance extension uh by alan kahi um it's he's working
on it all the time it's it's awesome that he's updating all the time he's updated this past week
i have not done a tutorial on this for probably six weeks and there's a lot of new options that we
have and also kind of a dialogue script as you're going through and working on this for the first
time alan's basically put in a script to walk you through that so when we type in google meet
attendance it's the one with the green check mark you'll see that i have it right here in chrome
already installed so i'm going to walk you through the process show you what it looks like
there's a lot more options now you can you can track when students come into the meet when
students don't come in the meet the difficult part about this is the google meet grid view extension
is is really funky right now and because google keeps updating google meet so at this point
unless that is working it's difficult to take attendance for
uh google meet where you have more than 16 students because you've got to be able to see
those students in the dialogue are not in the dialogue box but on your screen
in order for the meet attendance to work because that's where it grabs the information
from to take attendance so let's jump in right here we're going to start a meet and before we
start the meet there's some settings that we've got to basically go through in the dialog box
and you'll see that the dialog box is right over here um in in the google me so before i
start there's some settings that i want to take care of so the first thing is is when we click
on the question mark you can see i'm going to do that so we don't get an echo so we click on the
question mark basically this dialog box that allen has created is going to walk you through the whole
thing so you can take attendance in it there are some things that you need to do before you start
the meet and when you go to settings there's some things that you want to click on depending on how
you want to track your stuff so i want to monitor attendance basically that's going to tell me when
a student comes into the meet when they leave the meet maybe they get disconnected they jump back in
so it's going to show me portions of the google meet conference where they're not there okay
obviously i want to remove previous meet checks so if i had a google meet prior to this and i
want to auto save as a csv which is going to shoot over right to excel that i can use later
so when we go back now that we have the settings here these are the settings that
i recommend these are the ones that allen recommends you could obviously do an html
file if you want it as well it's just going to come across as html instead of a csv file
to get back to the question mark here right we're going to do this
so let me make sure that my settings are good here so i'm not getting an echo
but um once we click on the question mark it you can see it's basically just a dialog box
so take attendance about recording who is there and well as who is not there
and so what you can actually do is you can create a list of students that should be
in your google meet now i don't have classes right now i'm an administrator so i could take
a list of all my teachers or different things like that but i'm actually just going to create a list
when we get there so you can set up your classes
right to start a meet we're going to click join now now if i do that when i click join
now it's going to confirm the meet start time so there's going to be as soon as i click start
there's going to be a little basically time stamp so we'll just do this so you can see
so the meeting started at 10 44 and it's still going right it tells us the monitor attendance
is selected so anytime somebody jumps into this meeting it's going to show me who's there i've
also got the check mark here one thing that you'll need to do is you need to change your view to
the tiled view if it's already not set up to that or if you have the grid view extension
you'll need to turn that on grid view has not been updated for about
three or four weeks i know that he's working on it because he's been talking about it
that's not alan that's somebody else that created the grid view extension
but my class is small enough right that i can use with a built-in tiled view if not then we
need to do the grid view extension and make sure that it's installed right you can read
it right there the instructions so again this is how we do this right so if we go back to settings
again we want to make sure that these are the settings here i can get rid of the dialog box here
now i can also create classes pre-made with the students that are in those classes and so
if i want to add a new class test class 2 right i would hit that
and then i can copy and paste and i'm just going to type it in
there what it's going to do is it's going to let me know when
those students come into the meet right i believe it's going to be
is my name there okay so it'll show you that none of these five students are here
well i'm going to grab and go over to my other account
i'll turn off this turn off the camera we've got to ask to join and you'll see what happens
now is because my name matches it shows that i am here has a little check mark by my name and
it shows that i am here right it shows how long the meeting's been going what time we started how
many of the participants are there now if i wanted to remove a student i could if i want to reset the
time i can reset the time of the meeting this is where i would save the attendance as a csv file
so what i'm actually going to do is i'm going to go over to my other account i'm going to jump
out of the meeting for 30 seconds or whatever maybe and then jump back in and show you what
that looks like on the csv that's saved that alan has basically created this code for so
when i come over here i'm going to close this and you'll notice it still says that i'm here right
if i delete all the names there is no undo so i can't do that
i want to erase some names
i can do that
i can do a quick check here
if i want i can delete the check mark so if a student says they have
to leave and it's not manually updating i can delete that
once again when i take this over go over to my other account here
i'm going to have to ask to leave because i'm asked to join because i'm outside of
the organization so i'm going to click on join now try to turn off both of those
because i already gave permission you'll see that it joined again
so here we are in the tile view now what i'm going to do is i want to export this
so i want to save this as a csv file you'll see easier than numbers
so it'll show me when i arrived when i was there
when i came when i left right so that is how you use and there's a more detailed tutorial right
over on alan's site i just wanted to do a run through it with like the instructions that he's
put out there to show you again so if i want to go here i can see the dialog box new installation
updating taking attendance monitoring who's there saving the attendance different languages getting
