Joining your video session is easy. Follow these steps for the best experience:

Before Your Session

  • Use a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge - latest versions)
  • Ensure you have a stable internet connection
  • Find a quiet place with good lighting
  • Have any materials or questions ready

Joining the Session

  • Go to your dashboard and find the upcoming session
  • Click "Join Session" button (available 5 minutes before start time)
  • Allow camera and microphone permissions when prompted
  • Wait for your tutor to join (students) or start the session (tutors)
  • You'll see the video room with camera, microphone, and chat controls

Session reminders are sent 24 hours, 1 hour, and 15 minutes before your session starts.

During the Session

  • Use screen sharing to show your work or materials
  • Use the chat feature for sharing links or notes
  • Mute your microphone when not speaking to reduce background noise
  • Turn off your camera if you have connection issues
