Using a graphic tablet (such as WACOM) in the VEDAMO VIrtual Classroom is very handy and also turns the drawing into as precise as you need it to be. Some users could face an issue with WACOM regarding the drawing and pointer tools in the virtual classroom. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to fix that:

1. First of all, you need to download and install the latest version of WACOM Center & Drivers (preferably from their official website), and then connect your graphic tablet to the Center application.

2. As soon as the graphic tablet is connected to the Center application, click on the Mapping Settings button.

Note: In case you do not see the Mapping Settings button in the application, you need to draw on the graphic tablet using its digital pen. This will trigger the button to show up.

3. A new window will pop up (WACOM Tablet Properties) where you have to add Mozilla Firefox into the application list. In order to do so, click on the “+” button on the right side of the window.
