When a new user logs in, their desktop will appear. When a user logs out, their desktop will disappear. By default, students’ desktops appear in the order they came online. You may change the sort order using the class roster.
Note: Students must launch the same app/desktop as Faculty in order to appear in the classroom.
Note: Multiple faculty (or teaching assistants with faculty roles in Apporto) may view the same class at the same time.
When the Virtual Classroom is launched, students will see a notification that their desktop is being shared.
Note: For privacy, the student’s Messenger and menu bar are not visible in the Virtual Classroom.
Students will also see a new menu option (hand icon) 
that enables them to raise their hand. When a hand is raised, Faculty will see a red highlight around the desktop in the Virtual Classroom.
Clicking on the desktop enlarges the desktop and removes the red highlight.

Adjust the Number of Tiles
For small groups, the number of tiles will automatically adjust to optimize screen real estate. For example, if there are four students in the group currently online, four large tiles will display. To adjust the number of tiles (desktops) per screen, select 4, 9, 16, or 25 from the dropdown menu.

Chat with Students
If Messenger is enabled for your instance, it will be available in the Virtual Classroom – to make it easy to chat with students 1×1 or call a student to help quickly answer a question.
When viewing the entire class, the Messenger contact list shows all students in the group.
When viewing an individual student’s desktop (enlarged view or remote control), the contact list is filtered to make it easy to communicate with that specific student.
