Change Classroom settings on Mac
Use Classroom settings to choose options for joining classes and to choose whether to let teachers control your Mac, lock your Mac, view your screen, and share your screen using AirPlay. The settings apply to all your classes. Classroom settings only appear when you’re using a Mac managed by a school or institution.
To change these settings on your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Classroom in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
