Our 'Live Classroom' monitoring feature provides instructors with real-time viewing of a student's browsing session. Instructors can view a students' live screen and their opened tabs. This allows for spot checking access attempts into filtered content and the redirection of students as deemed necessary. To create a classroom please see our Setting Up a Classroom document.
To start a live classroom either click the play button in the green circle next to the class or click "Start Now".
