Class session preferences
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Chat display name | This setting is used to change the display name of the teacher that students see in the student chat window |
| Enable notification sound for chat and hand raise | When enabled, an alert sound will play when a student sends a chat message or uses the hand raise feature. This is particularly useful during remote teaching. |
| Play sound when student enters class | When enbled, a doorbell sound notification will play on the teacher's device when a student in an active class session comes online. This is useful during remote teaching when teachers are online for an extended period of time and students "drop in" as needed. |
| Force chat window open | When enabled, the chat window on the student device will be forced open when the teacher sends a chat message, rather than just displaying a glowing chat icon and waiting for the student to open it. |
| Force focused (active) window to maximize | This option automatically forces the currently active window on the student’s Chromebook to maximize to full screen. This prevents side-by side windows and can help with keeping students focused on a single site at a time. It can also help prevent students from leaving a window to the side with a video they want to watch (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) while leaving their schoolwork in a main focused window that the teacher sees in thumbnail view. |
