And note that the default is to send a message to this room and so that would be in this case everybody but if your instructor is using breakout rooms then if you're inside a breakout room and you send a message it'll only go to people in that same breakout room not everybody but notice that you can click that button send messages just to the moderators or to individual participants the instructor who is the moderator will be able to see all messages however so again, useful way to communicate and used just ongoing throughout the class and below that is the microphone and the microphone button is easy to use you click it once to turn on your mic and then you can speak and you notice the green line here indicating that it that I should be able to be heard just fine then I click the button again to turn it off so don't try to hold that button down but instead just click once to turn it on, speak, and make sure you click once to turn it off because the default setting for E-live is just one person can talk at a time
