### Making Announcements in Chat

The [Everyone in World channel](https://support.schoolspace.io/sending-and-receiving-chat-messages?hsLang=en#everyone-in-world-channel) is an easy way to share text based announcements. Anyone with access to the Everyone in World channel can send a message. These messages will be visible to everyone in the world.

#### Use Everyone in World for:

- Sharing reminders (e.g. “We’ll be logging off in 5 minutes”)
- Giving casual announcements to all students in world

 

#### Tips for Chat Announcements:

- Students may miss the announcement if they’re not paying attention to chat, have notifications turned off, or have unread messages.
- Students banned from chat channels will see messages in Everyone in World but will not be able to send messages. Only Moderators can [remove a ban](https://support.schoolspace.io/moderation-handbook?hsLang=en#unban-channels). Each school has their own process for deciding when a ban will be removed.

If you do not see the Everyone in World channel, it may have been disabled in the world. [Chat channels can be enabled or disabled](https://support.schoolspace.io/moderation-handbook?hsLang=en#message-controls) by a [Manager](https://support.schoolspace.io/schoolspace-roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en).

 

##### To Send a Message in a Chat Channel:

1. Click the **Messages ![messages](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/messages.svg)** icon in the left sidebar.
2. Click the **chat channel** you want to use (e.g. Everyone in the World).
3. Type your message and press **Enter** or click **Send ![send](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/send.svg).**

### Video Announcements, Lectures, or Presentations

#### Broadcast

**Broadcast ![broadcast](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/broadcast.svg)** makes a user's video visible to everyone in the world or everyone in a private zone. Broadcast is a great way to make video announcements, share a presentation, or host a Q&A session. If you want to force the Broadcast video to be pinned and enlarged for everyone while also disabling avatar movement, you can [use Spotlight.](https://support.schoolspace.io/broadcast-spotlight-record-screenshare#spotlight)

Students are not able to place their own video on Broadcast. Only [Moderators or Managers](https://support.schoolspace.io/schoolspace-roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en) can turn on Broadcast for [themselves](https://support.schoolspace.io/broadcast-spotlight-record-screenshare#broadcast-myself) or [individual students](https://support.schoolspace.io/broadcast-spotlight-record-screenshare#broadcast-other-user).

### Sharing Your Screen

**Screenshare** ![screenshare](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/screenshare.svg) makes your screen visible to people you are connected to over video chat. If you share your screen while [Broadcasting](https://support.schoolspace.io/broadcast-spotlight-record-screenshare#broadcast), your screen will be visible to everyone who can see your Broadcast. You can share a tab, window, or your entire screen.

Typically only [Moderators and world admins](https://support.schoolspace.io/schoolspace-roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en) can share their screen. In some worlds, students can request to share their screen. The ability for students to request to share their screen can be [changed by schools](https://support.schoolspace.io/moderation-handbook?hsLang=en#screenshare-access).

 

#### Tips for Sharing your Screen:

- Use **Tab sharing** if you need to include audio (e.g. a YouTube video).
- Instruct users click **Pin ![pin](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/pin.svg)** on your video tile to increase the size of the screenshare. After clicking Pin, they can double click to further increase the size.
- To force everyone in the world to see an expanded view of your screen, use [Spotlight](https://support.schoolspace.io/broadcast-spotlight-record-screenshare#spotlight) ![spotlight](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/spotlight.svg) while sharing your screen.

### Recording in SchoolSpace

Record your lessons, presentations, or other activities directly in your SchoolSpace world! You can start a recording before or during a Broadcast, screenshare, or Spotlight. Only the video or screenshare of the person being recorded will be captured in a recording.

Recordings can be accessed in Dashboard by the following users:

- The user who started a recording.
- The user who was recorded.
- The world owner.
- A manager in a world.

Learn how to [access recordings in Dashboard](https://support.schoolspace.io/understanding-the-schoolspace-dashboard?hsLang=en#recordings).

Students are not able to start a recording. Only [Moderators or Managers](https://support.schoolspace.io/schoolspace-roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en) can start recordings for themselves or other users.
