Webinar rooms are different for instructors than they are for attendees. Instructors have more options and actions they can take within the rooms.
As an instructor, in the top horizontal menu you have the option to:
a) Turn your microphone on/off.
b) Turn your webcam on/off.
c) With the red REC button, you have the option to Record.
d) With the share button, in which case you can:
-share screen. Learn more about screen sharing here.
- PDF sharing. Learn more about the differences between screen sharing and PDF sharing here.
- Video sharing. Learn more about sharing video here.
e) Virtual whiteboard.
f) Conduct an on-the-spot poll. See here how to create a poll on the spot.
g) Send feedback to the class and platform attendees.
h) Configure your microphone and webcam.
i) Show/hide the chat
j) Leave the webinar room.
In the chat section, you have the options:
a) General chat
b) Questions chat
c) List of attendees
d) Private chats
e) Create promotions. See here how to create a promotion within the webinar.
You have the option to hide/show:
a) the list of attendees
b) the general chats
c) the questions chat
*You must do this for each of them.
In the question chat, you will also receive a notification that you can enable or disable to prioritize the questions:
**The Question Chat automatically duplicates each phrase/word that an attendee places in the general chat with a question mark, thus helping to prioritize and separate the questions.
In the Attendees section, the instructor is reflected in green and the rest of the attendees in white. Next to each attendee you have 3 icons for:
a) have a private conversation with that person
b) enable their microphone
c) enable them as a second speaker (that is, enable with webcam and microphone)
Important: Webinar rooms allow a maximum of 2 instructors/speakers and a third person on voice.
If you are going to give voice to an attendee or make them a 2nd speaker, these people must have the corresponding hardware.
To enable/disable, just click on the corresponding icon.
