Go to the channel and click the meeting you wish to amend. 2. Click on "Meeting options" 3. Once you click this button a window will open in your default internet browser, this will include further options for the meeting. If Safari is your default browser, copy the link when prompted and open Chrome or Mozilla. 4. Once the meeting details have loaded in your browser window, ensure yours looks similar to mine. Click Save and exit the page. Mute/Unmute Students If you choose to allow the mic and video, you can disable the camera and microphone for the students by using the following method. Sharing Screen Content When it comes to sharing your screen for the students, there a few ways you can do it. Screen shows your entire screen. If you want the kids to only be able to see one particular app like a calculator or a video while you do other things, you can select the window. If the screen needs sound, you can also choose to have sound from the computer enabled so the students can hear what you’re doing. Changing Background Effect When you have video on, we recommend having Blur as a Background Effect. This means that anything in the background will not be readable, and will focus the attention on the presenter. To do this, click on the ... at the top and select Apply Background Effect. Click on Blur and then Apply in the bottom. As you can see, it blurs the background behind me. End a Meeting At the end of the class Meeting, ensure you End meeting. This is good as it stops kids from being able to faff around while you’re not there.
