Start Virtual Classroom

When your scheduled Virtual Classroom meeting time arrives, start it in the Bongo™ MindApp™. Students cannot join the meeting until you have started it.

Because you are the moderator of your Virtual Classroom meetings, you must start meetings from Bongo in MindTap. You cannot start a Virtual Classroom meeting from an external link.
  1. In the toolbar, click Bongo to open Bongo.
  2. Click Bongo menu > Meetings.
  3. Beside your meeting name, click Select > Launch.

    The Meeting Lobby opens.

    The Virtual Classroom Dial-In numbers are located here. You or another participant may need to use this feature if you do not have access to a computer or internet connection, or you experience technical issues due to a poor internet connection. Please note that this number is unique and specific to the scheduled meeting.

    To check your system to ensure it is compatible with Bongo, click Computer Pre-checks.

    Other participants will not be able to enter the meeting room until you do.

  4. To start your meeting, click Enter Meeting Room.
