  • What can the instructor/presenter do in the Users Area? Whenever a student enters the Meeting, they will appear in the Users area.
    • Beside each user name, you can click on the mic icon, to mute or unmute a user. Optionally, you can also click on a lock icon, to lock a user's mic muted or unmuted.
    • In the lower left corner of the Users area, you can click on the Settings icon (it looks like a wheel):
      • If students have clicked on an icon, for example, to Raise Hands (for attention or in answer to your question), you can click on the link to "Clear All Status Icons"
      • Don't use this: You can click on the link to Mute All Users but you would also mute yourself and/or the presenter!
      • You can click on the link to Mute All Users Except Presenter. This is good setting to use when some users have speakers or mics instead of headsets-their devices can cause a great deal of noise/feedback that you can mute.
      • You can now lock viewers: Webcam, Microphone, Public Chat, Private Chat, and Layout.
        • Note: Don't lock viewers from using the Public Chat if they don't have a microphone, they won't be able to communicate with you!
    • You can click on Breakout Rooms, to divide up your students into separate "Meeting" groups; after a time limit you set, they'll be returned to the main meeting
