A join code lets students add themselves to your classroom, which is usually the quickest way to get a whole class in at once.

There are four ways to add students. Two of them import from Google, which your IT administrator sets up; the other two are below.

1. Open your classroom from the sidebar and go to the Students tab.

2. Click Add students.

3. Choose Share a join code, then click Next.
