To end the call, select End Call in the bottom-right corner of the screen. If you recorded the call, you will be prompted to give the recording a title and then save the recording. Alternatively, you can delete the recording at this point. A link will appear in this pop-up which can be shared with students so they can access the recording at a later time.
