    Right, lots in this thread to unpack.

     

    1. The 4 video view will work in the desktop app on Windows, Mac, Linux or the mobile app on Apple or Android. It is not possible in the browser. I don't believe this is likely to change in any useful time period.

    2. The 9 video view is in development, and Microsoft have heard loud and clear from MVPs that it's important. As far as I know it won't be here during April.

    3. The view you see will always be the students that talked most recently. If you keep your students muted and unmute to speak it shouldn't be confusing to work out who is speaking.

    4. As the teacher you can select any of the students in your meeting to view their video by clicking on the ... next to their name in the list of attendees and selecting pin, once you have finished unpin to get back to active speakers.

    4. Your school districts are probably wise to not permit the use of Zoom, they have a responsibility to not allow your student data to be accessed by third parties or several other risks. Look up zoom bombing if you think it'll be fine, or when zoom were sending data to Facebook without permission, or when hackers worked out how to access private meetings.

    5. Teams has very good controls to allow you to keep order during a meeting, controlling who can speak, present etc. It's harder to achieve this in Zoom. Tips in my video attached.

aliajmal082 teachers asking you to submit an assignment really isn't that far-fetched. If you are unable to continue classes online you could try taking a semester off and pursuing a personal project or something while this cools down.

 

Everyone is effected by coronavirus, but your teachers still need to do their jobs. It's not that they are trying to actively hurt you by assigning homework. You, as a CS undergrad student (which I was as well), should be actively pursuing knowledge to better yourself.

 

Don't stress too much about coronavirus. It's unlikely that you will be severely impacted from a health perspective from it. Just focus on school, take this extra time to learn all that you can. I promise you will enjoy CS.
