Note
  • Only use a guest link for users who are not part of your module, e.g. a guest lecturer.
  • If you want allow students to download recordings of the session to reuse later, remember to tick Allow recording downloads
  • Be careful with the use of anonymous chats, as students
  • If you have more than 250 students, tick Allow 250+ attendees to join. When you tick this, students can only use the chat function to engage, not the audio or video. If you want them to interact with audio, they will have to put up their hand, and then you can change their role to Presenter. Then the particulare student will be able to use their audio.
  • Tick USE AWS Chime for audio and video for better audio and video quality. (Only for sessions with less than 250 attendees.
  • Read the information in the yellow block below regarding attendance reporting.
