Through this students can create a group of 9, which will include a teacher, an interpreter, and they themselves. Along with it, for students who wish to read together can create a customized group of 9 and begin reading together.
Audio Control: This feature will help teachers to selectively mute a student, only if a student grants the permission to do so, prior to calling. The settings will remain unchanged unless the student modifies it manually.
Original Sound: For the teachers that host music class, and find it difficult to manage it online, this feature is for them. Switching this mode disables the echo around (echo cancellation). Further, this feature helps to upgrade the audio from 2kHz to 48Khz, 96Kbps mono/192Kbps giving a better sound quality.
