Buttons

There are some buttons on the left. We’ll go over them from the top down, but if the color is blue, the functionality is on.

●Screen Sharing

Screen is for screen sharing. The window size can be adjusted as needed. We know you have big ideas to share!

● Whiteboard

Whiteboard lets your student see everything you draw on the screen as you explain key concepts.

●Editor

Editor is for writing code. You can toggle between editor and whiteboard without losing your work, but the functions display one at a time.

● Text chat

Text chat is just that. With your student. Best for accounting homework help where technical explanations are necessary.

●Record

This button will eventually let you record tutoring sessions for later review. Make sure you are using good chat etiquette!

●Camera and Mic

Chrome will ask permission to use your camera and microphone. Just click ‘accept’ to turn them on.

●Publish

If you republish, you can use HD or SD. SD is best for slow connections.
