Meetings: User Area

Users Area

• The Users Area, in the upper left corner of your Meetings session, has been updated and simplified.
• What can the instructor/presenter do in the Users Area?
  • Whenever a student enters the Meeting, they will appear in the Users area.
  • Usually the presenter will display a "presenter" icon in the Status column, beside their name.
  • Common Media icons are: a webcam, a microphone, and a "speaker" icon, which denotes that "Listen only" mode has been chosen by the participant.
• In the lower left corner of the Users area, you can click on the Settings icon (it looks like a wheel):
  • You can now lock viewers: Webcam, Microphone, Public Chat, Private Chat, and Layout.
  • Also, in the Settings area, you can click on Breakout Rooms to divide students into groups, for a time limit you set; students will be returned to the "main" Meeting room after the time limit expires or the moderator ends the Break Room session.
  • 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!
