Hand out instant copies of a master document for every room member's desk

Need to make a copy of a document or send a copy to every other room member? There is now a faster and easier way to do so, without having to manually upload the same document multiple times. 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.

Bigger screen real estate for your content and more intuitive layout with brand new virtual room user interface

Welcome to the brand new ClassDo virtual room user interface. Sporting a clean and contemporary look, it now offers a bigger display/work area for your content. We have also moved some features and icons around, as we re-organise related ones together. You'll 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 " ..." icon on the top right corner of your content file.

4. All tools and room settings consolidated under Menu

- Screen Share, Visualiser, Second Device, Recording, Device Settings, Sync Modes

5. Access help in one place

- ClassDo Support live chat, Help Centre

We have relocated our ClassDo Support live chat from the bottom right corner to the top right corner of the virtual room. So, you can now reach either live support or our 24/7 online Help Centre repository from the same place more easily.

And last but not least, to exit the room, just hit the red/white phone icon to end your session.

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 desk to check the work he has submitted to you, or look at what he is 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

If you are a user assigned an organisation role that does not allow you to start live video collaboration on your own, you will now need to get approval from your room host before you can start screen share and visualiser livestreaming, Your host will receive a notification about your request on his screen. Once he approves, your screen share or visualiser livestream will automatically be displayed in a new tab on everyone's screen.

Screen share display upsized for a more immersive view

Here in ClassDo, we always recommend our users to take advantage of our file upload feature and unlimited cloud file storage, to upload files directly into the virtual room for your live collaboration. But, if you do need to screen share, the display size is now fully maximised in the virtual room for a clearer view.

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 at the top of the virtual room screen, whenever a user turns it on. This helps to keep in sync all room members' view of the screen share/visualiser video at all times, unless the room interaction setting is in Disabled Sync mode. It also allows screen share videos and visualiser livestreams to be consistently captured in session recordings.

8 Sep 2020

Submit completed work online with a quick QR code scan

Done an assignment on hard copy and taken a photo on your smartphone? You can now easily submit your assignment into the virtual room using your mobile phone, without needing to log onto ClassDo again manually on your mobile phone.

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. That's right! You'll only need to call out the specific files that are relevant to that particular Work with Others or Work on My Own session. Collaboration on multi-documents become more efficient with a neater virtual room deskpace!

Learn more at Smart Tabs FAQs.
