If for some reason, you want to connect with your students via Google Meet for your online classes on Chesslang Classroom, the “picture-in-picture” (PIP) mode can be useful.
What is “picture-in-picture” (PIP) mode?
The picture-in-picture (PiP) mode shrinks a video into a small player so you can keep watching while using other applications on your device.
Using PIP for Chesslang Classroom
Step-1: Create a classroom in the Chesslang platform (as explained here – LINK)
Step-2: Ensure that your students have joined the Classroom and the Google Meet where you will be communicating with your students.
Step-3: Before starting your class, go to the Google Meet, click on the options icon, and then select “Open picture-in-picture”
Now you will see the Meeting opened in PIP mode at the bottom right of your screen:
Step-4: Now go to the Chesslang Classroom and you will still see the Google Meet in PIP mode:
Step-5: You can also drag-drop the PIP meeting wherever you want. For example, you may place it in the video call area at the top-right. You can also resize the panes for an enlarged view:
This way you can conduct the class and see your students (in the PIP) at the same time!
