How to join a live class

Live classes use BigBlueButton (BBB) video conferencing. Your teacher starts the session; you join from the portal.

Before you join​

  • Use a supported browser: Chrome or Firefox (latest version recommended).
  • Allow the browser to access your microphone and camera when prompted.
  • A stable internet connection is required. Close other video calls and bandwidth-heavy tabs.

Steps​

  1. Go to Course → Enrollments and select the course.
  2. When a live session is active, a Join class button appears at the top of the course page.
  3. Select Join class. The BigBlueButton room opens in a new tab.
  4. Choose your audio option: Microphone (to speak) or Listen only.
  5. If prompted, allow microphone and camera access.

Alternatively — from the Conferences menu​

  1. Go to Conferences → VC.
  2. Find the active session for your course.
  3. Select Join.

During the class​

  • Use the Raise hand button to ask a question without interrupting.
  • The chat panel is on the right — use it for text questions.
  • Your teacher controls screen sharing, polls and breakout rooms.

Class not showing​

  • The teacher must start the session before the Join button appears.
  • Refresh the page if you were on it before the session started.
  • Check your course enrollment under Course → Enrollments.
