Users Area
The Users Area, in the upper left corner of your Meetings session, has been updated and simplified.
- Whenever a student enters the Meeting, a round icon will appear to the left of their name.
- Usually beside the presenter, a square icon will display to the left of their name, as shown in the image below.
Users Area Settings
- In the upper right corner of the Users area, instructors can click on the Settings icon (it looks like a wheel):
- Students can click on their name in the Users area, click on Set status and select an emoticon, such as Raise (hand), Confused, Sad, Happy, Applaud.
- At any time, the presenter can click on the Settings icon to clear the status icons that participants have chosen.
- In Settings, the presenter can Mute all users, but it is preferable to Mute all users except the Presenter!
