The Lobby is the waiting area where you can get ready before your lesson. In the Lobby, you can test your microphone, speakers and video. When you’re all set, click Join.

Tabs

In a Space, you can have two different types of tabs: Document Tab and Whiteboard. These are where you can interact with your notes and work together with your tutor throughout your lesson. You can see your tutor's cursor move and they can see yours.

There are many awesome features on the whiteboard, read here to explore them all.

Student Dashboard

After being added as a pupil on the Lesson space, you can log in to your student dashboard to access your spaces and more. On your dashboard, you can see all the spaces you've ever joined. The sessions list all the sessions you've had with your tutors.

Chat

The chat makes it easy to help you speak to your tutor if you can't hear or are having technical issues and you need to reach out to them.

You can type into the chat, press Enter to send, and post links, questions and homework in the chat that you can come back to in your next lessons.

Leading mode

If your tutor enables Leading mode in the lesson, it means that wherever they go in a Space, you, as the pupil, will be pulled into that same tab. To go to a different tab, ask your tutor to disable Leading mode.
