Problem with using italki classroom? 

No video or Mic source

• Check if your browser has enabled italki to access your camera or microphone
  
• Check if you have turned on other video software such as Skype or Zoom. Turn them off first and re-enter Classroom.
• If you have connected with an external camera or microphone, make sure you have selected the correct input source.

My teacher and I have both entered the classroom, but we can’t see each other.

The classroom is only available during lesson time. If you are having this problem during the lesson, please quit your browser and log in to italki to try again.

I have selected Skype as a communication tool for my lesson/package. But I want to switch to the Classroom. How can I do that?

The communication tool can't be changed once a lesson/package is booked. If you are unfamiliar with the booking process, ask your teacher to send you a lesson invitation by selecting the italki Classroom.

Can I record my lessons?

Currently, we don't have a replay for your lessons. If both you and your teacher agree, you may use third-party recording software so that you can review your lessons.
