Click “Join chat” when you receive a video chat notification from a tutor. Note: Other students may be asked to join this chat if they need help with the same subject.
During the video chat, you can hover over the icons in the middle of the page to unmute your microphone and turn on your camera. There are three dots where you can change your settings if you have problems hearing or issues with your camera.
Inside the video chat, tutors will guide you to further online tools that may help during your session.
