• On the right side you see a pannel for each student. If you click on the three vertical dots, a menu opens where you can mute or kick the student out of the meeting (there is no way to unmute a student, they must do that themselves)

Student Interactions (Questions)

• Any student can press the hand button to ask for attention (raise hand)

• You will see a popup notification and also a hand symbol on the pannel of the student who raised their hand:

• you can now orally ask that student to turn on their microphone and ask their question.
  • If you hover over the pannel of the student you can see his/her full name.
• Afterwards the student should click the hand button again to lower his/her hand.
