Google Sign-in identify account tied to a school
I'm using Google Sign-in to register and login users to my web app.
We are an edtech product, so I would like to make sure users are registering with a google account that is tied to a school and not using their personal google accounts.
Is this possible?
I don't see a field in user that would indicate this. I also can't find confirmation as to whether or not school google accounts can have an @gmail.com email or if they must use a custom domain.
Note that these account may or may not be using Google Classroom, so I can't rely on that.

Unless you have a List of the "school" accounts and can test against that there is no way for you to know.
Google is not going to tell you if its a school google account. They may know if its a google classroom account but that kind of information is not shared at login time. Probably due to user privacy.
