We’re excited to share that we’ve made some changes to the virtual classroom to make it easier for event hosts and instructors to manage their classrooms. Thanks for your feedback which helped shape these improvements, we hope they help you.

Firstly, we’ve re-organized the Classroom screen so that you can see more of your users' environments. The thumbnail aspect ratio has been modified to better match the most common connection size. This allows for an increased density in the classroom, while also reducing the pixel distortion.

To view or join a workspace, simply hover over a thumbnail. This replaces the previous methods. 

All other existing capability has been retained, with the following improvements added: 

• If a user is idle in the workspace, the thumbnail will show a small orange timer on the top right corner of the user panel, indicating how long they have been inactive 
  
• If you suspect the displayed user status is incorrect or a thumbnail is missing, try selecting ‘Refresh user status’ on the thumbnail. This will send the user a message notifying them to refresh their browser, which can often resolve any connection issues. 
  
• You can optionally show and hide the bottom panel of each thumbnail - containing the IP address and VM name - to free up space if needed. To show this information, use the bulk action 'Show details'.
