About This Tutorial

This tutorial will show you how to turn your camera off and on.

Note: By default, your camera is on when you enter the room. However, the moderator can change the settings so that everyone's camera is off when they join. If you're a student using Online Studio and your camera is off when you start a lesson, ask your teacher if they changed the default settings.

We recommend that clients use Google Chrome when operating Online Studio to get the fullest use of its features.
