Channels

Channels are group discussion spaces created by your teacher or administrator. They’re used for class announcements, Q&A, topic discussions, and collaborative conversations.

Accessing Channels

1. Click the Inbox icon in the top bar, then click Full Inbox.
2. Select the Discussions tab.
3. You’ll see a list of all channels you’ve been added to.

Browsing Channels

Each channel is listed with its name and the date it was created. Click on any channel to open the full conversation.

• Use the search bar to find a specific channel by name.

Reading a Channel

Inside a channel, posts are shown with the newest post at the top. Each post shows:

• The author’s name and avatar
• When it was posted
• The message content (text and images)
• Comments and reactions on that post

Commenting on a Post

Posts in a channel are created by your teacher or administrator — students comment on them rather than starting new ones.

1. Open the channel and find the post you want to respond to.
2. Click the comment box below the post.
3. Type your comment (you can also attach an image).
4. Press Enter or click Send.

Tip

Keep your comments relevant to the post. Your teacher can see everything posted in a channel.

Replying to a Comment

1. Find the comment you want to reply to.
2. Click Reply below it.
3. Type your reply and send it.

Replies are nested under the comment they respond to, keeping the conversation organized.

Reacting to a Post or Comment

Click the reaction icon on any post or comment to add an emoji reaction (👍 👎 ❤️ 😂 😮 😢 🔥 ✨) — a quick way to acknowledge something without writing a comment.
