Can my students see me?
Yes, when you are not on presenting mode. The webcam faces you, so students can see you. However, when you walk away from laptop, students can no longer see you.
If you want to demonstrate an action such as dance move or science set-up, place your laptop such that the web cam faces you.
Do I need a mic?
If you’re sitting near your laptop as you use OneNote, external mic is not necessary.
If you presenting ppt and walk around the class, yes. When you walk away from laptop during lesson, sound level also decrease because you’re further from laptop’s mic. With external mic, LOA kids can still hear as you walk in class.
Can I record the meeting?
If you are using ICON email: No, recording function is not available.
If your school has G Suite education acct (e.g @XYZ.edu.sg), Google Meet accessed through that has the recording function. However, the G Suite admin for the school needs to allow that for the entire domain in the admin console.
Can students join the session halfway?
