Default group in rooms renamed "Main Room" for better clarity

The default main group of every room has now been renamed "Main Room" to make sure there is no ambiguity! This name change is reflected both in the room and in the content library. There are no changes to the function of the groups or group folders other than the name.

6 Jun 2021

Upload files up to 100 MB

You can now upload PDF and image files up to 100 MB each, up from the previous 50 MB. For files bigger than 100 MB, try compressing your file size to below 100 MB before uploading them into the Content Library.

Collect responses in an interactive way with Quick Poll

Engage your room members by launching one of ClassDo's quick polls!

30 Apr 2021

Now you can know exactly how many members there are in each breakout Group at any one time and who they are, without having to be in the same Group as them. Simply look at the number display beside each group name at the top of your virtual room screen. Mouse over the Group name to see who's in the Group. No more worries about leaving anyone behind in a Group, or waiting for a member in the wrong Group!

9 Apr 2021

Better control over who can toggle between videochat and content views

With a new permission box under Organisation Seettings > Roles to manage who can open and close the videochat view in the virtual room, you can minimise accidental switching to the videochat view in the midst of a live lesson, presentation or collaboration. By default, only the roles who currently have the permission to switch pages, files, desks, groups and room sync modes can open/close videochat view.

8 Apr 2021

Having a glitchy camera, microphone or speaker midway through a live session? Now you can run the device test without having to leave the room nor opening a new browser tab. Simply access the device test under Menu.

One-step device testing allows video/audio to be turned off before entering the room

Testing your camera, microphone and speaker to ensure they are working is now easier and faster as you can test them all on the same screen, and start live class or collaboration in one step!

In a noisy environment or don't have your headphones with you, or you don't wish others to see the environment you are in? You can now turn off your camera and/or microphone before you join the room, and join the session discreetly with your video and/or audio already muted.

7 Apr 2021

Get alerted whenever a room member enters the room

Get alerted as attendees stream into the room or when latecomers join the class after you have started teaching, by turning on sound notification for that room under Menu. Whenever someone joins the room, it will play a chime that can only be heard by yourself.

31 Mar 2021

Quick action bar for content files in the virtual room

Want to hand out, duplicate or download a file in the virtual room? The previous [...] icon to access the content settings and tools menu has given way to a more obvious quick action bar below each content tab, so that it looks and works just like the content menu within the Organisaton Content Library. To rename your file, just click your cursor anywhere on the file name in the quick action bar. To see the full menu, click the small arrow next to the file name.

30 Mar 2021

Room sync settings streamlined to Enable Sync and Disable Sync modes

There used to be three different room sync modes - Presentation, Collaboration Sync and Disabled Sync. To simplify how you, as educators, can control what everyone views in the room at any one time, we have streamlined them down to two modes only - Enable Sync and Disable Sync.

Enable Sync mode: default room sync setting for all rooms. Use this to lock everyone’s view to the tabs/contents/pages you are on, so you know everyone is looking at the same thing as your screen.

Under this mode, by default, your students will NOT be able to open new tabs, switch tabs, and create new contents in the main room. They will also NOT be able to switch to breakout groups or their own desks, unless you initiate the switch. You can modify these permissions under Organisation Settings > Role, but please note that they will apply for all members organisation-wide with the same role in all rooms.

Disable Sync mode: select this to let everyone toggle freely and independently between different files/tabs/pages and between Room and Desk views without affecting one another. This is the same as the old Disabled Sync mode.

24 Mar 2021

Allow others to edit your files on-the-spot in the virtual room

For your convenience, we have extended the Share Content feature that was introduced in the Organisation Content Library earlier in January, into the virtual room. This means you can now also allow other room members - either by members' names or by member roles - to edit individual files instantly while you are in the midst of a live session within the virtual room, just by changing "can view" to "can edit". Just click the blue Edit Rights button on the top right of your content to modify the permissions.

22 Mar 2021

Full view of your contents with relocated controls bar

Were you previously bothered by how the controls bar in the centre bottom of your virtual room screen tend to block part of your content? We hear you! We have tweaked the virtual room design by moving the controls bar to the right side of the screen. So you have a clean and clear view of your full contents now.

15 Mar 2021

As a teacher, trainer or presenter, you can now always show your room members where your cursor is pointing at or where you are typing/writing, with our new visible cursor feature.

Visible cursor is supported on all content types except Typepad, YouTube video and poll.

During the suspension, the member will still be able to log into his or her ClassDo account and see the organisation and rooms he or she belongs to, but will not be able to access the Content Library nor enter any virtual room in your organisation until you reactivate his or her account. Account suspension is effective organisation-wide.

If you like, you may upload or create a new content in advance where only you can view it, and release access only when you are ready to share the content with other room members. You can assign specific file access permissions by members' names or roles (eg. only members with teacher role can view this file, or block a certain room member from accessing a specific content).

A much better way to organise and search/filter your files with multiple tags

Find it very inflexible to file your teaching and learning resources in the traditional folder system that is based on one single parameter? On ClassDo, you can create and add multiple tags to any file that you upload or create, eg topic, subject, session number. When you wish to retrieve the file in future, you can find it more easily by search-and-filtering through the topic or subject tag, even if you cannot remember which session you had used it.

4 Jan 2021

Direct access to all your files in the new Content Library without having to enter the room

For your greater convenience, we have moved file access out from within the virtual room to your room homepage. So you can directly view and even work on your files, or prepare content in advance before a live collaboration, in the Content Library without needing to step inside the virtual. In other words, the only times you click Enter Room is when you are ready to conduct or attend a live lesson, training or meeting.

Send text messages and broadcast announcements to everyone via new room chat

You can now send text mesages and broadcast announcements in the new room chat for everyone to see. Normal text messages will be shown in the room chat panel on the right of the virtual room screen. If you have something important to inform all members and you don't want them to miss seeing it in case they have not opened their chat view or missed seeing the new message red indicator, choose to send the text message as a broadcast announcement to all room members. Announcements are shown explicitly in a pop-up window on the top right corner of the screen for all room members, regardless whether they are in the main room, in a breakout group, or on their own personal desk space.

Stay tuned for more features for room chat coming soon - including direct messaging for sending messages privately to selected room member(s), and new message indicator.

Have smaller, more focused discussions with groups

With groups, conducting dedicated team discussions is easy, seamless and quick!

Simply click the Content Menu icon for the PDF/image file/sketch pad that you wish to make a copy of, and select either Duplicate or Hand out.

Duplicate: This instantly creates a copy of the document within the same room view or desk in your room. Access the duplicate file [with a filename extension "(copy)"] from the same room or desk library.
Hand out: This instantly sends a copy of the document to other room members in their individual desks. You can choose to hand it out to all other room members' desks or specific members' desks only. Access the handout file [with a filename extension "(username)"] from the relevant desk library(ies). Note: you can hand out a file from the room view to the desk, and from the room host's desk to other room members' desk. But handing out a document from any desk to the room view is not possible.

You'll also find it easier to locate and access your favourite tools and settings, especially the more frequently used features. Take a quick orientation around your new virtual room below.

1. Manage members' microphone, camera and various video screens in one place

- Member's Name, Internet Strength Indicator, Mic/Camera On/Off, Maximise, Picture-in-picture

Mouse over any member's video to show his or her name. Click to manage his or her microphone and camera (if you have host permission). This is also where you can maximise his or her screens (video chat, screen share or visualiser), or set them as a always-on-top floating window (Picture-in-picture).

2. Ready access to Room Members settings

- Mute Microphone, Video On/Off, Room Members List, Videochat View

Need to mute your own microphone or turn off your own video quicky in the midst of a live collaboration? You can now do so with just a single click as we have moved these frequently used features up to the bottom centre of the virtual room screen.

This central bar of icons is also where you can open the Room Members' List, to see who's already in the room and who is late or absent, and change the room view from Content to Videochat, if all your need is to talk to your collaborators without referring to any files.

3. Edit all content settings from Content [...]

- Name, Allow Download, Download, Delete Content

All functions related to content files are now housed in the Content dialog box indicated by the Additional options button (three dots icon) on the top right corner of your content file.

The room tools and settings have been moved to a single Menu where you can access the room's functions and sync settings in one place!

Desk: your new personal workspace in the virtual room, just like in the physical room

Always wanted to have your personal workspace in the virtual room, where you can write your personal copy of notes privately during live collaboration? Or perhaps you are in a team brainstorming or sprint session, and you need to jot down your ideas privately before you share with the rest of the team?

If you are a teacher, maybe you want to assign an exercise to all your students to do during the lesson and be able to see what each student is writing on his virtual desk and to provide one-to-one coaching in real time, on-demand or where necessary. Or you wish to have your students submit homework to you privately without their individual work being visible to other classmates.

Just like how everyone in the office or classroom has his own workspace or desk to work on privately, all room members in any ClassDo virtual room now have their own individual Desks.

Simply toggle from Room (house icon) to Desk (desk icon), where the contents that you or your host have uploaded can only be seen and edited by the two of you, and not any other room member. Privacy assured!

If you are the host, you can access any of your room member's desks to check the work they have submitted to you, or look at what they are writing in real time. For teachers, especially, this is just like how you can walk right up to your student's desk in the classroom to provide personal coaching!

Better host control of screen share/visualiser activation

Users who do not have permission to start live video collaboration on your own will now need to get approval from the room host before they can start screen share or visualiser livestreaming.

15 Sep 2020

View screen share and visualiser video in sync at all times

Instead of appearing as a floating video, a screen share video or visualiser livestream is now displayed in tabs similar to other content in the room. This helps to keep all room members' view of the screen share/visualiser video in sync at all times when in Presentation or Collaboration Sync modes, making sure screen share videos and visualiser livestreams are consistently captured in session recordings!

8 Sep 2020

Smart Tabs: all your files in one Library - find them easily, open only the files you need

Bid goodbye to clicking on various tabs to look for a PDF or a sketchpad, and scouring through a long row of files to find that one document from a month ago....

...and say hello to ClassDo Smart Tabs!

Kickstarting the revamp of our virtual room, Smart Tabs makes accessing files easy and convenient. All your files - be it uploaded contents, sketchpads, typepads, videos, recordings, or polls - are now housed in one streamlined Library.

Whenever you need to open an existing file or create/upload a new file, simply open a new tab, just like how you would do it when browsing the internet. Browse through your Library, just like how you would do it on Microsoft Office applications for instance.

Use the search and filter functions to help you find the files you want to work on for that session, and call them out from the Library onto your deskspace in the virtual room. This way, you can call out only the specific files that are relevant to that particular session. Collaboration on multi-documents has become more efficient with a neater virtual room deskspace!

Easier way to add room admin rights to user

Need to assign another room member to become a second meeting host, trainer or teacher of a virtual room, so that he or she will have the same room admin rights as you, the room creator/owner? Now you can do it conveniently from the Organisation → Rooms → Members page, without having to enter the virtual room itself.

Upload, revise and review your documents privately in the new Library mode

As a room member, you can now enter the room via the new "View Library" feature to access your collaboration or learning materials privately, any time you want, without needing your room admin (i.e. meeting host, trainer or teacher) to be in the room with you.

Best of all, everyone belonging to the same room can access the materials concurrently but privately as videochat is disabled in the Library mode. So you can read, review, annotate, type, sketch and upload documents in the Library mode without worrying about accidentally 'bumping' into your co-learners or co-workers! All changes and additions you make to the resources in the Library mode are autosaved, so that you can always access the most updated versions when you resume live collaboration.

If you enter a room for a live collaboration session earlier and your room admin is not in yet, you will be redirected to the Library mode where you can read your materials while waiting for the room admin to enter the room.

When your room admin enters the room while you are in the Library mode, you will be prompted with a message in a pop-up dialog box as to whether you wish to switch to 'Live Collaboration' or remain in the Library mode for your personal revision.
