What You Would Need
Virtual Classrooms require access to an internet connection, and equipment to stream Vimeo, such as Chromecast, AirPlay (on compatible Apple devices), or other casting methods. Certain smart TV brands have built-in casting apps. (Be sure to test your streaming connection.)
An alternative method is to watch Vimeo on individual computers.
