Insight Feature Overview
Insight includes the following features that were available in previous versions:
Show Teacher's Screen Full Screen or Windowed
Shows the teacher's screen to all students on the same Teacher channel.
Select between a "full screen" and a "windowed" show mode. In Full Screen mode, the teacher's
screen will take over the entire student's screen and lock-out the student's mouse and keyboard.
In Windowed mode, the teacher's screen will appear in a window on the student's machine. The
students can then resize the window and work by following along with the teacher.
When you show your computer screen to student computers, a sound is transmitted from your
speakers. This sound lets students know that a Faronics Insight session is about to begin. To
change this sound, replace c:\program files\insight\start.wav and stop.wav with your own sounds.
On a Mac, these files are located in "/Applications/Faronics
Insight/Teacher.app/Contents/Resources".
If you Show Teacher to a machine that is not logged in, it will always be in Full Screen mode.
View Thumbnail Mode (Monitoring)
View up to 3000 crisp high color student thumbnails at the same time. Every student's screen will
appear as a "thumbnail" in the Faronics Insight Teacher console. There are 4 sizes of thumbnails
that can be sized automatically to the best fit. You can choose to only view selected students by
clicking on the View All button then checking the View Selected option.
Classroom Layout
Thumbnails can now be arranged in the shape of the classroom. Each size thumbnail has its own
layout that is automatically saved. Classroom layouts can be saved loaded and locked. This feature
is not supported in WMS teacher.
Magnify Thumbnails
When you hover over a thumbnail, the thumbnail size will quickly increase. If you do not like this
feature, it can be turned off by clicking on the View All button then removing the check from the
Magnify option.

active application and website.
