  • Beside the moderator's name, a square icon will display, usually with a microphone icon as well, as shown below.

  • At any time, moderators (usually the instructor), can click on a user's name, and promote users to be moderators or demote them.
    • Also, moderators by default, are the presenter. They can make any user a presenter. The moderator clicks on their own name when they want to take back the presenter role.
