Put your Bitmoji Stickers instead of mine:

Please be aware that not all stickers are available on the web or in the Bitmoji extension. If you can't find the same sticker I've used but with your personal Bitmoji, I recommend using the Bitmoji mobile app, where you're sure to find it by using keywords in the search bar. Once you find the same sticker with your Bitmoji, follow these steps:

1. Click the right mouse button on the sticker you want to change.
2. Select 'Change Picture.'
3. Choose 'From Clipboard.'

This will replace the sticker with your customized Bitmoji.

Before beginning the class, write the day's message on the calendar. Then, at any time during the class, play the presentation and freely navigate through the slides by clicking on the interactive buttons. No keyboard is needed; simply use a mouse or your finger if using a touchscreen device.
