About This Tutorial
By default, when you launch Online Studio and join a room, the self-view camera box will be visible in the upper right corner. This tutorial will show you two ways to hide your camera box from your view while still allowing others to see you. You will also see how to unhide your camera box.
Note: If you hide your camera box before a student joins the room, you will still see it even after you have hidden it. However, once your student joins, your self-view camera box will no longer be visible for the rest of the session unless you unhide it. When you start a new Online Studio session, your camera box will be visible again.
We recommend that clients use Google Chrome when operating Online Studio to get the fullest use of its features.
