Breakout Rooms- Allows students to work in small groups while still being able to call the teacher into the room for help.
Share screen - Allows the teacher (or students) to present what is on their screen for all in the meeting to see.
Whiteboard - A feature that provides the teacher or students a white board to share with all in the meeting.
Write on Screen - makes the shared screen interactive so participants interact with the content shared on the screen.
