Lightspeed Classroom Management has introduced new thumbnails to assist teachers in troubleshooting why a students active screen is not appearing in Classroom Management. The appropriate thumbnail will appear to provide context and help explain why the screen is not showing.
 
 
Student Viewing Chrome Settings


Google security restrictions for the Chrome browser do not allow student screens to be displayed when viewing a Chrome settings page. Options to start viewing their screens include asking the students to close their settings page, closing their tab, or redirecting the students to another tab.
