• Join a B-Meet session as a learner

When you join a B-Meet session as a learner, some features might be limited depending on your educator’s settings. This means you can join and take part in the class, but certain tools, like your microphone, camera, or chat, may be turned off or locked during the session.

These limits are set to help the class stay focused and organised. You’ll still be able to listen to the discussion, view shared presentations, and participate whenever your educator enables the tools for you. This setup helps make sure everyone has a smooth and distraction-free learning experience.
