They will make sure they are signed into Zoom with their school account. They will click on Virtual Classroom from the navigation bar. They will also be prompted with a button to Open a New Tab. They need to click that. They will automatically be in the waiting room and get a message that says, "Please wait, the meeting host will let you in soon." Or if you haven't opened the meeting yet they'll get a message that says "Please wait for the host to start this meeting."
Teacher will: see if anyone is in the waiting room. As they log in, you'll get a pop up to let them in. Click accept. You can ask them to start their video, you can allow them to share their screen, there are a variety of ways to use the tools in Zoom to teach your virtual students.
