UConn faculty, staff, and students with a University Gmail account can quickly create a video call with other UConn users. Once created, any UConn user can join the meeting by typing in your meeting code at [Google Meet](https://meet.google.com/_meet).

> ⚠️ This method only works when all meeting attendees have a UConn gmail account. If you are including people from outside of UConn (i.e., they do not have a university gmail account), follow the instructions for [creating a Hangout Meet for all users.](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IKB/pages/10790764715)

1. Go to [meet.google.com/_meet](https://meet.google.com/_meet).
2. Make sure that you are signed in to your university Gmail account. Sign in by clicking on the **Sign in **button at the top right.
3. Click on **Join or Start a Meeting.**

4. To set up the meeting for the first time, type in any nickname that you would like to use. This nickname is what others will use to join your video conference.   
Please note that only internal UConn users will be able to join your meeting via secret code.
5. Click on **Join now** to join the video call.
