# Using Classroom as a Student

> Find, join, participate in, and review a Kralis Classroom event as a student.

Students use the same Kralis account they already use for school. There is no separate meeting account and an event link does not bypass school or classroom access.

## 1. Find a classroom

Open **Classroom** from the Kralis dashboard. Students see events made available through:

* their class and optional section;
* a school-wide audience;
* a direct invitation; or
* a Classroom collaboration group.

Students do not see drafts or event-management actions. Use search to find a title or description, select an available status filter, and use **Load more** when additional results exist.

## 2. Review the event

Open an event to review its:

* status and planned time;
* description and teacher;
* class, section, subject, year, and term where applicable;
* attached whiteboards;
* published recordings after completion; and
* personal attendance once attendance activity exists.

An event link still requires sign-in and valid access.

## 3. Prepare devices

Select **Enter room** when the lobby or live room is available. On the preparation screen:

1. choose a microphone and camera;
2. turn either device off if it is unavailable or not needed;
3. confirm the preview; and
4. select **Continue to classroom**.

Use **Cancel** to return to the event without entering. A student can join in listen-only mode when their role permits access and both devices are off.

If a camera or microphone does not start, allow permission for the Kralis site and close another tab or application using the same device.

## 4. Review recording consent

If the school requires a recording notice for recordable events, read and acknowledge it before entering. The acknowledgement applies to that event and the current notice. If the school updates the notice, Kralis may ask for acknowledgement again.

## 5. Enter the lobby

For a scheduled classroom, the lobby shows how long remains before the early-entry window or event start.

When a waiting room is enabled, send the admission request and remain on the page. The lobby updates when a host or moderator admits or rejects the request. Admission allows entry only while the event remains available.

## 6. Participate in the live room

Depending on the event settings and assigned role, a student can:

* turn their microphone or camera on and off;
* hear classroom audio or mute it locally;
* view a shared screen or presented whiteboard;
* send and reply to chat messages;
* edit or delete their permitted chat messages;
* raise or lower their hand; and
* leave and safely reconnect while the event remains live.

A teacher may mute active media, restrict publishing, lower a raised hand, or remove a participant. A teacher cannot remotely turn a student's camera or microphone on.

## 7. Follow a presentation

When the teacher presents a screen or whiteboard, the room follows that source. A student may leave the presentation view and return with **Follow presentation**.

During a whiteboard presentation, students see the current drawing and active editor's cursor. Editing is available only when the board grants Editor access and no one else is editing it.

## 8. Use Classroom on mobile

On a small screen:

* one or two video tiles stack vertically;
* larger groups use a compact two-column grid;
* whiteboard controls use compact icons;
* the presenter camera appears as a small picture-in-picture at the bottom right; and
* horizontal control areas can scroll instead of overlapping.

Many mobile browsers do not support sharing the device screen. When unavailable, Classroom shows a single screen-sharing message; camera, microphone, chat, and native whiteboard viewing still work.

If classroom audio does not begin automatically, select **Enable classroom audio**. Browser autoplay rules sometimes require this action.

## 9. Review attendance and recordings

After participation, the event details page can show **My attendance**, including:

* first join time;
* total duration;
* attendance percentage; and
* Present, Late, Partial, Absent, or Excused status.

Students cannot alter their own attendance. A manager can apply a documented override when necessary.

Published recordings appear on the event details page when ready. Processing or unpublished recordings are not available to ordinary participants.
