- Some participant permissions:
- Share audio
- Share video
- Post chat messages – Moderators can choose to turn chat on DURING a session.
- Draw on whiteboards and files
The permissions are off for participants only. Moderators and presenters can still do all of these things.
Info TIP: If you want a single participant to share audio or video, post chat messages, or draw on whiteboards and files, promote the participant to presenter. - REMEMBER: Breakout groups are also disabled as the session is too large for small group collaboration.
- If you need to use breakout groups, you must either have a smaller session (under 250 participants) or set up additional Class Collaborate sessions and post those links in your session.
