Using classroom.cloud’s Safeguarding/Online Safety feature in a NetSupport DNA environment

When using classroom.cloud’s Safeguarding/Online Safety feature in an environment where you’re also using NetSupport DNA version 4.85.0002 or below, you will need to disable NetSupport DNA’s eSafety features on the devices you wish to use classroom.cloud’s Safeguarding/Online Safety feature. To do this, you need to create a new profile on your DNA Console with the Phrase Monitoring feature disabled and then assign this profile to your classroom.cloud devices.

The following explains how to configure the profile for your environment and a general overview of how to apply the profile.

3. Select/tick the department(s) with the classroom.cloud student installed and then click OK.
   • If you receive a message advising the department is already assigned another profile, you will need to unassign the other profile before you can apply the “classroom.cloud devices” profile.
