Join a presentation

Watch a shared model and use controls when the teacher grants them.

Checked 2026-10-16

Join

  1. Open the session link supplied by the teacher, or enter its code in Presentation.
  2. Wait for the connection and model to load.
  3. Follow the demonstration. If you changed your own view, use the available follow-presenter control.

When you receive control

The teacher can grant pose control or URDF editing. These are different permissions: rotating the model does not grant permission to change its description. Use the granted mode; resume watching when control is revoked.

If the connection drops

Reopen the same link and check session status. If the teacher ended the session, a new one is needed. A presentation code is not a WebRTC code for controlling a physical arm.

Controls

Button or field Action and result
Session code; Watch Enter the teacher’s code and click Watch. Wait for the Live status and model to load; if the session is invalid or ended, check the link with the teacher.
Your name An optional name helps the teacher identify your viewer number and give control to the correct person.
Follow teacher / Look around Following uses the presenter’s viewpoint. Look around lets you inspect the model independently; it does not grant permission to change the shared pose.
Move / Pointer / Pen / Eraser Appear after the pen is handed to you. Choose camera orbit, pointing, drawing or erasing. The class sees your actions.
Colour; Width; Axes With delegated control, set drawing parameters and model joint positions. Change axes in small steps while explaining your observation.
Hand back Gives control back to the teacher. It does not end the presentation.
URDF on the board: Read-only / You may edit this The label shows your permission for the model description. Editing requires File control; Pen alone is insufficient.
Follow cursor / Read freely Lets you follow the presenter’s line or browse the description independently.
Download; Show joints In the available editor, save a copy of the description and show joint markers. Resource loading and session management remain with the teacher.
Reconnecting… / Connection lost Check the network. If disconnected, reload the same session page; this cannot resume a presentation that has ended.
