Polling
Your teacher may use polls for virtual pop quizzes, trivia games, status checks, and other

interactive lessons. When a poll is launched, it will pop up in a separate window from the
Zoom session — all you need to do is select your responses. Your teacher will be able to see

the individual responses of everyone in the class.
Reactions

If Reactions are enabled in your classroom, you can use them to express yourself without

saying a word! Choose an emoji reaction to pop up on your video panel to show your
excitement, cheer on a classmate, or show love for a topic.

Screen sharing
Your teacher may allow you to share your screen as part of the lesson. All you have to do is

click the Share Screen icon in your meeting controls, then choose to share a specific window
or your entire desktop (your teacher may have specific instructions for what they want you to

share with the class). Note that your teacher can enable or disable screen sharing during a

class, so you may not always have this option available, or you may have to request
permission.

Virtual backgrounds

Virtual backgrounds can be used for fun, but they might also help you feel more comfortable
turning on your camera by masking your real background. Your school may have branded

backgrounds with their logo, mascot, and colors, or your teacher might ask you to choose a
themed background based on the lesson. To change your virtual background, just click the

arrow next to your Start/Stop Video icon at the bottom of the screen and select Choose Virtual

Background.

When you are connected, turn on your camera and mute your microphone. Make sure you are

sitting in a well-lit and quiet place and you are comfortable. Keep your textbook, notebook,
pencil and other necessary school materials close. Pay attention and use the ZOOM features to

participate in the class and ask questions when you need. For secure meetings, do not share

meeting link, ID or password publicly.
