Users Area

The Users Area, in the upper left corner of your Meetings session, has been updated and simplified.

  • What can the instructor/presenter see in the Users Area?
    • Whenever a student enters the Meeting, they will appear in the Users area.
      • Usually beside the presenter, a "presenter" icon will display to the left of their name, as shown in the image below.
      • Your name will display in bold, other users name will display in normal text.
      • Common media icons that are displayed are: a webcam, a microphone, and a headset icon, which denotes that the "Listen only" mode has been chosen by the participant.
