During Live Presentations when I've embedded a Youtube video the screen is way too small. Please allow the option of full screen video. Student's don't need to see all the toolbars, only the video content. Additionally, I would like the option to turn off the closed captions. They are distraction to the video content.

Hello, I wanted to tell you that Nearpod has changed the way I do things in the classroom. I am writing to suggest that a full screen option to be a bit larger for visually impaired students. Andy C

It would be extremely helpful to be able to have the video play full screen so you do not see the sidebars while playing the video to the class.

I can't show YouTube videos (the interactive ones I've added questions to) in Live presentation mode. I can see the video on my device, but it says it cannot be shown in the student view to the whole class. The students can see it if I say they can watch it individually, but I want to watch, discuss, and have them answer the questions as a class. Is there a way to make it so they can see the video too when I have it in present mode?

With the new changes, there is no way to immediately end a student paced lesson. It's the end of the quarter, and I need to the lesson to stop because the late work deadline is over, but the Nearpods are still active. In the past, if we just edited the Nearpod, it would disable the code, but now it doesn't do that. I think you need to give a terminate switch that won't kill the reports. Please and thanks.

HISTORY Quiz

Hi! Please return the ability for teachers to write on regular slides during Live Sessions! I used that feature ALL THE TIME as if it were a white board on the slide to explain my math thinking. It's just helpful when I am virtually working with students too!!

First, it makes no sense that you have to turn on collaborate boards for student-paced lessons. If I put that in the lesson, it should automatically be on! Second, I found out about this issue AFTER sending my code. I have now been advised that I must send another code which means students who already started have to start over. The change should work across the board. This is not user friendly programming.

Draw it activity could have a zoom tool, similar to that in goformative, so that students can annotate and write with the pen in more detail but also much more conveniently on mobile devices

Can you add a feature so as we are going through a lesson, we can push a button and one of our kid's names will randomly pop up to answer a question? This would be like old school popsicle sticks.
