Set up your classroom connection.
Use Layers Teacher on a Windows PC and Layers Student in the students’ Chrome or Edge browsers. A room code connects the class.
From teacher toolbar to student browser.
- Ask us for the current Windows Teacher build and the correct Student extension. Teacher for Mac is discontinued.
- Open Layers Teacher on Windows. Open Classroom and create a room.
- Have students open Layers Student in a supported webpage and enter the room code. Their connection appears in the classroom panel.
- Try sending a classroom link and show students how to ask for help.
- Configure Focus Mode, blocked sites or schedules for the lesson. Explain when browser restrictions will be applied.
Room codes connect a classroom; they are different from Guard Family device pairing codes. Classroom extension controls apply within participating browsers, not the whole student computer.
Microphone, translation and dictionary features may need permissions and a network connection. The toolbar cannot run on browser-internal pages such as chrome:// pages.
The old website used the same store URL for Student and Guard. Until the separate product listings are confirmed, we provide the correct extension access through the team.
