I’m at a Viewboard, and it shows “Teacher Controlled”; what does that mean?
The Viewboard can only be controlled by the instructor; you can control the volume of your Viewboard, even when it’s teacher controlled.
I’m in a world that I know should have more people attending; how do I tell where everyone is?
You can check the attendance screen to see what course you are attending. (Select Class, Attendance)
My character is not moving smoothly; it has delay when moving around the world. What is wrong?
Changing the quality settings (Tools, Quality Settings) may help the movement of your avatar. Change the rendering to a lower setting (fastest) and lower the Clip Rate (400-500); it will lower the visual quality of the world, but will help the movement of the avatar.

If you hold down the spacebar, that will make you avatar fly higher.
