Do you use Google Classroom? I really am not the one to ask, but maybe have a start to an answer...on google classroom there is a link to the google meet at the left side of the header. We were told we might want to click in the settings to "unsee" this link for the student for the very reason you've described. When the teacher wants to activate that link, all it takes is a copy and paste it to an assignment.
