The K12 Zone Report
July 23rd
To make it easier to manage your Zone before entry, moderators will now see a pop-up labeled “Update World Settings?” when entering a world. This modal gives you quick control over student access and communication features.
🛠️ You may see some or all of the following options, depending on your world’s status:
🔓 This world is currently closed.
Check this box to open the world for students.
💡 You’ll only see this option if the world is currently closed.
🔇 Silent Mode is currently on.
Check this box to turn Silent Mode off, which allows video, audio, and chat.
✅ Box is checked by default.
💡 You’ll only see this if Silent Mode is currently on.
🎤 Microphone Access is currently off.
Check this box to allow students to unmute and use their microphones.
💡 You’ll only see this if mic access is currently turned off.
📷 Camera Access is off.
Check this box to allow students to turn on their cameras.
💡 You’ll only see this if camera access is currently turned off.
👀 What Students See: “Before You Enter…” Pop-Up
When students (non-admins) enter a world, they now get a quick overview of what to expect. This helps avoid confusion when certain features are restricted.
Here’s what might appear:
-
🎤 Microphones are off – Their mic is off. They can raise their hand to ask for permission to speak.
-
📷 Cameras are off – Camera is disabled. They can use "Audio Mode" to see more of the world.
-
🔦 Spotlight is on – Their movement and access to tools are limited while someone is presenting.
-
👥 Breakout Mode is on – Students can only interact with others in their small group.
🔁 This screen updates automatically based on which settings are active.
