Use the class room to coordinate study and practice sessions, or message a classmate directly. The 🎥 button drops a video practice-room link into the conversation. Keep it professional — your instructor can review all messages, including direct messages.
Rooms run on Jitsi Meet — free, no account needed to join, and it works in the browser on your phone or laptop (or the free Jitsi Meet app). The first person to open a room may be asked to sign in once with a Google or GitHub account to start it — everyone after that joins with just the link. Coordinate a time in the Chat tab, or open a direct message and tap 🎥 to send a private room link that only the two of you share. Then run your 12–15 minute lesson and have your partner time it and give feedback.
