## Version 12.40.x.696 (Windows)/12.40.x.696 (Mac) (April 2, 2026)

### Enhancements

* **Multiple Teachers Support:** Allows multiple Teachers to manage the same Class simultaneously. When an Assistant Teacher joins an existing class, the primary Teacher will be asked for approval. A new 'View Assistant Teachers' option will appear under the Classrooms dropdown for the primary Teacher. Insight Connector is required for Multiple Teachers support.
* **File Transfer Restrictions:** Enables Teachers to define restricted file extensions when transferring files between Teachers and Students.
* **Automatic Class Exit:** To avoid Students getting stuck in a class when the Teacher forgets to dismiss the class, now the Insight Administrator can optionally set the Student to automatically exit the class after a defined period.
* **Student Approval for Class Invitations:** The Insight Administrator can now optionally allow the Students to accept or decline a Teacher’s invitation to join a class.
* **Command Line Arguments (Windows only):** When launching an Application from the Actions menu, the Teacher can now specify command line arguments for that application.
* **Privacy Settings for Mac Computers:** To ensure Teachers are able to properly view Student screens, hear the mic, and remote into the Mac, a new privacy settings option is now available under the Student’s Administrator settings.
* **New Mobile Settings:** Newly added settings, such as the options to automatically exit the class, require Student approval to join a class, and required privacy settings, are now available on the latest mobile applications for iOS, Android, and Chromebook.

**Note:** Insight Administrators can use the Insight Command Line to centrally update the above-mentioned Student enhancements, such as Automatic Class Exit, Student Approval, and Mac Privacy Settings.
