Running sessions
Running sessions Create sessions, manage the question queue and set up your classroom.

Start, stop and share a session

Control when students can join and share the session code or link.

A session is either live or stopped. Students can only join and raise their hand while it's live.

Start a session

Open the session and click Start session. If you created the session with Start session immediately turned on, it's already live.

When the session is live, a green Active badge appears at the top of the session, and the page shows "Your session is live" with the session code. Once students start raising their hands, the code card is replaced by the queue.

A live session shows its code and join link

Stop a session

Hover over the green Active button. It changes to Stop. Click it and confirm. Students can't join a stopped session until you start it again.

Share the session

There are three ways to get students in:

  • Session code: the 6-character code shown on the session page. Students type it under Join a session.
  • Session link: click Copy link on the session page and post it in your LMS or chat. The link opens the session with the code filled in.
  • QR code: open Class view on a classroom screen so students can scan it.

You can copy the code or link at any time, even when the queue is busy, by clicking Share at the top of the session.
