# Classrooms and Chat Rooms

> Find your classrooms and talk with your instructor and your group in the chat room — step by step.

A **classroom** is your shared space with an instructor and a group of learners. Each classroom can
have its own **chat room**. This guide shows you where to find them and how to write.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Everything below is for the **web app** on a computer. Your organization adds you to classrooms:
> you cannot join one yourself.

## Step 1 — Open Classrooms & Chat

Click **My Content**, then the **Classrooms & Chat** tab (address
`/student-my-content/classrooms`). Two buttons at the top of the page switch between the views:

* **Chat** — your chat rooms (the view that opens first);
* **Classrooms** — your classrooms.

## Step 2 — Chat in a chat room

![The Chat view with the list of chat rooms and the message box](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7/images/student-guide/en/classrooms/01-chat.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7\&q=85\&s=88ee265d043f2857d68c193cc9a0b3d2)

The Chat view: your chat rooms on the left, the conversation on the right.

**1. Pick a chat room**

The list on the left shows your chat rooms and their latest message. The **Search…** box
filters them by name.

**2. Write your message**

Type in **Write a message…**, then press **Enter** to send it. **Shift + Enter** starts a new
line without sending.

**3. Attach an image (optional)**

Click the paperclip. Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP, up to 20 MB per image, 4 images
per message.

The instructor and every learner of the classroom read the conversation: do not share anything
personal there.

***

## Step 3 — Open a classroom

Click **Classrooms**. Each card shows the classroom's name, its instructor and its number of
members. The **Search…** box filters the cards.

The Classrooms view: one card per classroom you belong to.

Click a card to open the classroom:

A classroom: its content on the left, its members on the right.

| Item | What it holds |
| :- | :- |
| **Content** | The page your instructor writes for the group: the meeting link (**Join Google Meet** in the example above), the plan of the week, documents (PDFs, files), resources. |
| **Chat room** | The classroom's chat room, the same as in the **Chat** view. |
| **Members** panel | The instructor and the learners of the group. **Search members** finds someone; the button at the top right hides or shows the panel. |

If you do not belong to any classroom yet, the view shows **No classrooms yet**.
