Why are some macOS student devices appearing as Online, but I can't see their screens?
When the LanSchool Air student agent is installed on macOS devices, there are additional security and privacy approvals that are required. If you're
installing LanSchool Air manually using the installer, the approvals window should appear automatically. If not, open
Finder > Applications and launch LanSchool Air. Select
Continue when the Security and Approvals dialog appears. Unlock and select LanSchool Air for each approval required. If you deployed LanSchool Air using an MDM, see
Configuring Privacy Approvals with MDM.
Why can't I log in?
Why does the LanSchool Air agent on a student's device show a yellow or red status icon?

yellow status icon indicates that something is preventing the student client from connecting to the LanSchool Air servers. A red status icon indicates that
the student client has not yet been provisioned to your organization and may need to be reinstalled.
