There can only be 1 user with the instructor role, however the instructor can allow individual access to any of the attendees to participate by giving access to the whiteboard, microphone and webcam.

The attendees do not have the access to communicate directly with other individuals, just with the entire class including the instructor.

There is a two-stage process for a participant to speak/present to the whole class, the instructor needs to permit the participant to unmute, then the participant can unmute and speak to the class. The instructor is in full control of who can and can’t speak/present throughout the duration of the class.
