| − | ====Meetings Basic Features====
| |
| − | For most of your meetings, you'll want to see who has arrived at the meeting, by viewing the User area; and you'll want to upload and display your presentation. If any of your students wants to "Listen only" or does not have a headset or speakers, you can communicate with each other by using the Chat box. If you want to record and share your Meeting, you have many options, provided you set up your meeting with the "Recording" feature.

| − | ====Meetings Intermediate Features==== | |
| − | Sometimes, you may want to use the whiteboard features, to draw on your presentation. Some instructors like to share their webcam with their students, and/or want their students to share their webcams, too. You may want to make a student a presenter, to give a report or oral presentation. Also, it can be helpful to use a different layout to emphasize different Meetings features.
