Voila! Your presentation has begun and your Dashboard is open in a tab. You can use it to run the presentation and see students' responses in real time. [Learn more about what you can do with the Dashboard](https://help.peardeck.com/the-teacher-dashboard). Responses from this Session are saved automatically in your [Sessions](https://app.peardeck.com/home/sessions) menu. #### **Help students join** How students join the Session depends on whether they are already added to your Teams environment. Students can join whether or not they are already in your Teams environment. Here are the two ways for them to join: 1. **Students who are already in your Teams environment** **do not have to enter the Join Code**! They just navigate to *Teams*, click on the presentation tab, and click the *Log into Pear Deck* button to join your presentation. ![Teams, log into session, red arrow-1](https://help.peardeck.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Teams%2c%20log%20into%20session%2c%20red%20arrow-1.png?width=688&name=Teams%2c%20log%20into%20session%2c%20red%20arrow-1.png) 2. Students or participants who are outside of your Teams environment can definitely join your Session, but they do need a Microsoft Office 365 account. Here’s how to get them into the Session: - Click on the *Open Projector View* button*.* This opens the Projector View of the presentation in a new tab. ![Teams, open projector view-1](https://help.peardeck.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Teams%2c%20open%20projector%20view-1.png?width=688&name=Teams%2c%20open%20projector%20view-1.png) - Remember, the Projector View always displays students' responses anonymously, so this is the View you want to display in front of class. [Learn more about the Projector View](https://help.peardeck.com/how-to-present-a-pear-deck). ![Drawing, map, grid on projector (2)](https://help.peardeck.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drawing%2c%20map%2c%20grid%20on%20projector%20(2).png?width=688&name=Drawing%2c%20map%2c%20grid%20on%20projector%20(2).png) - Now, students can join the presentation on their own screens  They go to joinpd.com, enter the Session Join Code from your Projector View (which is *vbkwd* in the image below) and log in with their Microsoft Office 365 accounts. ![Ppt, projector view, join instructions-2](https://help.peardeck.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ppt%2c%20projector%20view%2c%20join%20instructions-2.png?width=688&name=Ppt%2c%20projector%20view%2c%20join%20instructions-2.png) No matter how students join your presentation, their slides will sync up to yours, and they will be able to answer any Interactive Questions you've added to your presentation. #### **Run your presentation** The Dashboard and Projector Views automatically sync up. You can use the Navigation Bar in the Dashboard to move through the slides - the Projector and the Student Views will follow.
