# Using Classroom as a Teacher

> Create, run, moderate, and review a complete Kralis Classroom event.

This guide follows a classroom manager from planning through the final attendance and recording review. Depending on the event role, the same workflow applies to teachers, hosts, moderators, deans, and school administrators.

```

## 1. Create the event

Open **Classroom**, then select **New classroom**.

Choose:

* a clear title and optional description;
* **Instant** when the room should start on demand, or **Scheduled** when it needs a planned start and end;
* an invite-only, class, or school audience;
* an optional class section and subject;
* participant camera, microphone, screen-sharing, chat, and raise-hand defaults;
* waiting-room, capacity, recording, and attendance settings.

For a class audience, select the class before selecting a section. A section narrows the selected class; it is not an audience by itself. Year and term come from the school's current academic settings and appear on the event details page.

For scheduled events, the form shows the duration and how long remains before the start. Selecting a start initially proposes an end one hour later, which can be changed.

## 2. Publish or start

| Event type | What to do                                              | What participants see                                                      |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Scheduled  | Publish the draft when its details and access are ready | Eligible participants can discover it and enter when the early lobby opens |
| Instant    | Select **Start classroom** when ready                   | Eligible participants can discover and enter the live event                |

Students cannot see scheduled drafts. Review the audience and explicit access before publishing.

## 3. Share and schedule externally

The event details page provides:

* **Copy link** for the Kralis event URL;
* **Share** when the browser or device supports its sharing menu; and
* **Add to calendar** for scheduled events.

The link is not a public meeting pass. Recipients still sign in to Kralis and must belong to the correct school and event audience.

## 4. Prepare and enter

Select **Enter room**, choose the intended microphone and camera, and continue to the lobby. You can enter with either device off and enable it later.

For scheduled events, the lobby opens according to **Join before start**. Hosts and moderators bypass the waiting room. They can remain in the lobby until the event starts or start it when the event permits manual starting.

## 5. Admit participants

When the waiting room is enabled, open the waiting-room panel to review pending requests.

| Action           | Effect                                                          |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Admit            | Allows the user to enter when the event is live                 |
| Reject           | Declines the current request                                    |
| Revoke admission | Removes admission and disconnects the user if already connected |

The maximum-participant setting applies while several users are entering at the same time. A reconnecting user does not consume another seat.

## 6. Teach and moderate

The bottom bar contains microphone, camera, presentation, local speaker, and leave controls. Open **More** for lower-bandwidth mode, recording, bulk microphone/camera actions, and other manager controls.

The right-side quick panel opens:

* participants, including the current participant count;
* chat, including unread activity;
* waiting-room requests; and
* attached whiteboards.

From the participant panel, a host or moderator can:

* mute an active microphone or stop an active camera;
* allow or prevent microphone, camera, and screen publishing;
* reset a participant to the event defaults;
* lower a raised hand;
* remove or reinstate a participant; and
* apply bulk microphone or camera actions from **More**.

A manager cannot remotely turn another person's camera or microphone on. The participant must enable it themselves after permission is restored.

## 7. Present content

Use **Present** to share a screen, application window, or browser tab. Use the whiteboard quick panel to open an attached board and **Present board** to make followers switch to its live view.

Only one presentation source is active at a time. Replacing the current source requires confirmation. During board presentation, the presenter's camera can remain visible as picture-in-picture.

To include a whiteboard in a recording, share the tab or screen containing the board. Native **Present board** viewing is not captured automatically.

## 8. Record when needed

For an event using manual recording, open **More** and select **Start recording**. The room displays whether it is preparing, recording, or processing. Stop recording from the same menu.

Stopping and starting again creates a separate numbered recording for the current session. Stopping the recording does not stop an active screen share.

## 9. End the event

Select **End classroom** when teaching is complete. Ending the event:

* closes the current live session;
* closes remaining waiting-room requests;
* finishes active attendance periods; and
* begins final attendance calculation.

A scheduled event also ends after its planned end time. The live room shows elapsed and remaining time and gives five-minute and two-minute reminders.

## 10. Review the event

Return to the event details page after completion.

| Area            | What it provides                                                                                |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Attendance      | Joined and expected counts, status, first join, duration, percentage, and manager overrides     |
| Session history | Every live run, its start and end, duration, participant activity, presentation, and recordings |
| Recordings      | Processing state, preview, publication, unpublication, playback, and deletion                   |
| Whiteboards     | Boards created for or attached to the event                                                     |
| Access          | Direct user and collaboration-group roles                                                       |
| Audit history   | Important event, access, moderation, attendance, recording, and policy actions                  |

Ready recordings remain private until a manager publishes them. Review the video before making it available to participants.
