Many educators delivering virtual lessons through Zoom, Meet, or some other platform, will tell you that the first 5-10 minutes is a juggling act of letting students into the call, taking a register, solving minor (or major!) technical issues, and re-explaining a task. Often, for those who arrive to the lesson on time, the start of the lesson can be frustrating as they wait for everyone else to 'get ready'. This undoubtedly has a negative impact on their engagement.
