How to monitor the public chat when sharing your screen in the BigBlueButton
Overview:
This guide will show you how to monitor the public chat when sharing your screen in the BigBlueButton.
What to know:
When sharing your screen on your computer, it will be difficult for you to monitor the public chat on your computer at the same time. Joining the BigBlueButton session on a second device (e.g., phone, iPad, computer) in addition to your computer can help you monitor the public chat more easily.
