FAQs for Teachers

How do my students and I access my world?

Once your world has been created, you’ll receive a unique SchoolSpace link (e.g., schoolspace.io/[yourworld]). Share this link with your students. They’ll log in using the school’s assigned method (Clever, ClassLink, SSO). Learn more about logging in to SchoolSpace and how we keep worlds secure.

What tools do I have to manage my classroom?

• Mute, remove, or ban students.

Can observe students in the world without being seen?

Yes, you can use Incognito Mode to observe students and others in the world without being seen. This is a powerful feature and is only available to Moderators, Managers, and world Owners.

Can I turn off student cameras and mics?

How many students can my world hold?
