Restrict screen visibility in Classroom Manager

You can use Screen Visibility Restrictions to stop Classroom Manager from taking screenshots of selected domains or certain Windows applications. If your school’s testing authorities do not allow recording or screenshots of their content, you can use this feature during testing periods. 

Staff members will not see screenshots of restricted websites or applications in the Classroom Manager Live View, Student tiles, Screenshot History report, or any other instances where a screenshot is shown. They will see an error message in Classroom Manager to advise them that the website or application's visibility has been restricted.

Before you begin

• You must have access to Configuration in Linewize Filter.
