HOW TO ACCESS YOUR GOOGLE GMAIL/CLASSROOM/MEET
You cannot access your Google Classroom or Google Meet with a personal email account, it must always be an @ibat.ie Google account. The @ibat.ie account needs to open and active before you access your Google Classroom or Google Meet.

Password : [your password]
- You may already have your own personal Gmail account open, rather than closing, you can simply open the Incognito tab using Chrome, using the top right menu item and then choosing “New incognito window” ( Incognito mode is like a clean browser environment, so there should be no conflicts with other Google accounts)
2. Open Gmail webpage within the incognito window and login with your username and password.
3. Once logged into the account select the top menu item and scroll down to the Classroom App.
You can also access your Google Classroom using the direct link: https://classroom.google.com/ or Gmail using the direct link: https://www.google.com/gmail/
4. You should see that your lecturer has posted your Google Meet link on the Classroom stream, click this link to join each week.
Please check you are accessing your @ibat.ie Gmail account (not your personal Gmail account), as well as the Classroom Stream there may also be an invite sent to your @ibat.ie inbox to join your Google Meet. Always ensure your own @ibat.ie account is used and selected before you join the Google meeting, if the current account is not an @ibat.ie account just use the switch account option.
