[fs-toc-h2]Online Class Panel

The left panel of an online class shows real-time information and functions of the class.

The Participants can only move, rotate or scale the 3D model. They need to make requests to modify the model, and speak in the class. The Host, on the other hand, can grant Participants different permissions or take them way anytime in the left panel.

Select this option to see all Participants who are not allowed to modify the model or speak and are thus invisible in the class.
