Instructions for Music Teachers: The Usage of “Live Class”
Open the app and select “I’m a teacher”.
After login, \\choose any instrument on the page of instrument selection.\\ The instrument selection does not affect the usage of “Live Class”.
Then you can see a popup window introducing the feature after entering the app.
Enter “Classroom” page.
If the student you want to call is not in your group currently, click on “Invite students” to invite him or her to the group.
Then you can choose which platform you want to share the link of invitation to. Here we take Instagram as an example.
Once the student opens the link you share, he or she needs to input the phone number or email address and the verification code received to log in. Then the student manages to join your group.
Once the student joins the group, click on “Refresh” and then you can see his or her name. Later, click on the button of “Live Class” behind the name to start a live class.
Or you can click on “Manage”, input the phone number or email address of the student and click on “Add Member” to invite him or her to your group. You can also invite other teachers in this way. Only the admin of the group is allowed to invite people via “Manage”.
Please notice that the one being called should open the app in the front page on his or her device, and the screen of the device should stay on for accepting the video call.
To switch the group or create new groups, click on “Switch” on the top right corner.
For making video calls to more than one student, click on “Group Class” , choose the video quality and select the students you want to call. \\The feature of “Group Class” limits up to 4 people in a live class.(DELETE)\\ After selecting the students, click on “Confirm” to start the video call.
Once the video call ends, you can click on “Live Class Log” to check out the time, period, \\participants and cost \\of the live class.
Main Features of “Group Class”

The default full-screen chat window is that of the teacher. If the teacher who starts the video call clicks on the chat window of a student, the student will be on the focus and his or her chat window will be displayed in full screen. Then the student can be seen or heard by all the participants.
The teacher can hear all the students and see their chat windows, while students can only hear the teacher and the one on the focus, and see the chat windows of the two.
