Students · During the lesson
Uneasy on camera, with home on view
Students don’t want classmates or tutors seeing their home, so cameras stay off and connection suffers.

How Pencil Spaces solves it
A student shares a small bedroom with two siblings and doesn’t want her class to see it. So she keeps her camera off, and her tutor can’t see when she’s confused.
Now she blurs her background, or replaces it with one the program provides, any time in the lesson. Her program has also set Recording Policies to exclude student video for privacy, so her face isn’t in any recording.
She turns her camera on. Her tutor sees the frown at step two and slows down, and she gets the help she needed without anyone seeing her room.
- Virtual BackgroundsAvailableVirtual backgrounds let teachers and students blur or replace what’s behind them, any time in the lesson.
- Recording PoliciesAvailableRecording Policies let you require, allow or turn off recording, and exclude student video for privacy.
The usual way
Teachers either let cameras stay off or insist they go on.
A tip you can use today
Offer a background option and let students choose; don’t force cameras on.
