Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, students and teachers had to suddenly adapt to online teaching and learning using video lecture software in their synchronous classes (Fabriz et al., 2021). The use of video lecture software, such as Zoom and other video lecture software, allows both teacher and student to appear on screen while instruction is occurring. The Covid-19 pandemic led to governmental lockdown requirements for schools worldwide (The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, 2020). Across the world, schools and higher education institutions started to use video lecture software and other technologies in virtual classrooms during these Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns (Li & Lalani, 2020). Video lecture software was involuntarily implemented in schools, educators, and students worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic (Gonzalez et al., 2022). Moving from face-to-face instruction to online required a significant time investment for teachers facing stress from the Covid-19 pandemic (Miyagawa & Perdue, 2020). One issue resulting from this new technology is requiring students to have their cameras on during a synchronous class (Nicandro et al., 2020). The Ogletree v. Cleveland State University verdict contended that conducting remote room scans may infringe upon students’ Fourth Amendment rights, as they possess a reasonable expectation of privacy within the confines of their homes, particularly in their bedrooms (Learmonth, 2022). This round table discussion will cover the legal issues concerning this hot topic.
