Google Meets will be very helpful for distance learning. The youtube video linked above shows you how to integrate a custom Google Meet for your Google classroom.
By creating it within Google classroom it has a few extra features:
1) Students are unable to join before you.
2) It's easily accessible at the top of Google Classroom.
3) You don't have to generate or send a new link for each class meeting.
Note: You will want to make sure you are early or remind students to keep trying to join if they arrive to the meet early because it will show an error if the teacher is not present.
