Kaltura Virtual Classroom offers persistent classrooms, meaning that each mêskanâs course has its own dedicated space. However, if you intend to use KVC for office hours, it’s advisable to select one of the following options to communicate with your students. This will ensure that you don’t have to meet students from various classes in separate rooms.

### Option 1 - Designate a mêskanâs course’s virtual classroom as a room for office hours

To use the virtual classroom you’ve designated for your office hours, follow these steps:

1. On the top row of the virtual classroom, click on **Invite**.
2. Next, locate the **Guest Link** and click on **Copy** to copy the link.
3. Now, navigate to a different mêskanâs course where you would like to hold office hours.
4. Add the copied guest link as a **URL** resource by pasting it in the designated field.

**Please keep in mind that in the future, when you are hosting office hours, you will need to access the designated mêskanâs course to enter the virtual classroom.**

### Option 2 - Create an independent virtual classroom outside of mêskanâs 

1. Go to streaming.macewan.ca in your web browser.
2. Click on **Guest** and select Login.
3. Click on your name on the top right corner, select **My Rooms**.
4. Click **New Room**.
5. Provide a name for the room and click **Add**.
6. Click on the newly created room to enter.
7. On the top row of the virtual classroom, click on **Invite**.
8. Next, locate the **Guest Link** and click on **Copy** to copy the link.
9. Now, navigate to a different mêskanâs course where you would like to hold office hours.
10. Add the copied guest link as a **URL** resource by pasting it in the designated field.

> ℹ️ **Remember:  when you are hosting office hours in the future, you need to return to **[https://streaming.macewan.ca](https://streaming.macewan.ca/) **to access the virtual classroom.**
