    Quick tech troubleshooting -- try these things first! 

    1) Make sure you're logged into your HCPSS GSuite account and not your personal Google account.  

    2) Clear cache & cookies

    3) Whenever possible use an updated Chrome browser

    4) Close extra apps, windows, and tabs 

    5) Restart your device 

    6) If siblings are using the SAME CHROMEBOOK Device -- this needs to be done: 1st sibling goes to Hcpss.me and logs OUT of GSuite and closes any open tabs including Canvas. 2nd sibling goes to HCPSS.me and logs  into GSuite, then follow the directions for joining the meeting.
