It fits the screen you have.

On an Android phone

The chat fills the screen. The live browser sits in a sheet at the bottom. Open the sheet all the way to watch closely or to take control.

On an Android tablet

On a large tablet held sideways, the chat and the browser sit side by side. On a narrower screen, the browser is a corner tile you tap to open full screen.

Home screen

Add it to your Home screen.

Then it opens from an icon, next to your other apps.

  1. Open app.silentstudent.com in Chrome.
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu at the top right.
  3. Tap Add to Home screen and confirm.
Typing and files

When a step needs you.

Most of the time you just watch. These are the moments you step in from your phone.

Logins and codes

At a login page, a two-step code or a check, the agent asks for you with a Take control button. Sign in, then tap Give back to agent.

Your keyboard

While you have control, tap Keyboard under the browser. Your phone’s keyboard opens and what you type goes to the page.

Files from your phone

If a site asks for a file, a line under the browser says “This site wants a file”. Tap Choose from your device, or Not now.

Platforms

Find your class’s platform.

The agent’s browser runs on our servers, so Android only has to show it. These are some of the platforms it works on.
