If you are reading this in order to join online the parents evenings as a parent/teacher, please watch BOTH videos

Please note that you will need to have a hardware microphone and (optional) webcam for this to work. Many laptops and most tablets have them built in or you can plug in USB webcams and microphones into the (usually) pink 3.5mm audio socket on the computer. You may need to set Windows/MacOS settings to define which device is used.

After following this guide, you will have granted permission to access your webcam and microphone to http://webcamtests.com and http://mictests.com ONLY. When you want to use a webcam/microphone on a DIFFERENT website, you will need to grant/allow permission on that website also when asked. Once you have granted/denied permission it remembers it unless you change it manually (as demonstrated later in the video).

 

The video below shows you how to setup and check your webcam/microphone will work for online parents evening on the school cloud website - the login method used below is for teachers, parents will login differently.
