Create a protected classroom

Enable Protected classroom during creation. It cannot be removed later; admission is required and recording/transcription are off
Start the classroom and share its link with the guardian. Guardian consent verification and host admission are separate

Select the user birth date on first launch. Only the age band is retained locally; the date is not transmitted or saved. Users under 14 enter the guardian flow
An adult parent/legal guardian signs in with an existing account, reads the processing/retention notice and requests verification using an alias. Do not enter child names, birth dates or ID documents
Contact support with the request ID for signed-form or video verification. Participation remains blocked until operator approval
After approval, re-enter the guardian password to allow microphone, camera and chat separately; all default off. Authorize the classroom link for up to two hours before handing over the device

Use participant or message menus to block media/chat for this session and report safety issues. Leave and tell a guardian if unsafe
Changing permissions or withdrawing consent disconnects the current child session. The next session needs a new grant. Reauthenticate to erase the request and linked child records
Protected classroom chat is not kept as server history; child file uploads, screen publishing and freeform drawing are unavailable
