Improved teacher controls for nicknamed meetings Participants will not be able to re-join a meeting after the final participant has left if:

The meeting was created using a short link like g.co/meet/nickname

The meeting was created at meet.google.com by entering a meeting nickname in the "Join or start a meeting” field

The meeting was created in the Meet app by entering a nickname in the “Meeting code” field

This means if the teacher is the last person to leave these types of meetings, students cannot join later without the teacher.
