🛠 Troubleshooting
🎒
If you encounter difficulty opening your class due to the bot being down, please contact a lesson manager in
teachers-room so they can manually open the class for you. Report any other technical issues with bots to
@Lesson Management.

📝 Feedback
To see the feedback that students left you, go to #reward-students channel and on the top right check in the thread
called "↪-teacher-feedback".

🔔 Announcements
Write one announcement 30-60 minutes before your lesson starts and a second one
when the classroom is open.
2️⃣Opening a class

- Join the +Create a Smart Room. The bot will ping you in #create-classroom.
- You will be asked 4 questions that you must answer in English
- If you are teaching in a language other than English, write the language you are teaching in the language in which
the class will be held. Ex: if you are teaching French for Spanish speakers, respond “Francés” to the first question.
- Once the classroom is created, you will be automatically moved to the corresponding voice channel, and a text
channel will be opened as well.

- If a user is trolling or disturbing the class, inform a moderator or lesson manager to deal with the situation. While the
issue is being resolved, you can server-mute the user, and continue with your class.

need to activate the 2FA (factor authentication).
