I am stuck on "waiting for approval"
Nothing is broken and you do not need to refresh. Your teacher has to press one button.
Some classes let anyone with the code straight in. Others ask the teacher to approve each person, and that is the screen you are on.
You do not need to refresh #
The page checks for you every ten seconds by itself. There is also a refresh button if you want to check this second. When your teacher approves you, the screen moves on without you doing anything.
Pressing F5 over and over does not make it faster.
You can close the page #
Your request is saved. Shut the tab, close the laptop, come back tomorrow — the request is still waiting and you will not have to enter the code again.
How long it takes #
That is up to your teacher, not to Carna. They see your request on their class list and approve it with one press. If it has been a day, the useful thing is to tell your teacher you are waiting — we cannot approve you for them.
If you joined the wrong class #
Ask your teacher to refuse the request, then enter the right code.
