For parents: join an online lesson

3 min read · Updated 2026-11-07

Some teachers on ChainChum teach over a video call. You book the seat, your child joins the call with you, and afterwards you send the drawing to the teacher. Your child never has an account and never signs in. ChainChum is for adults 18 and older.

Book a seat

  1. Open the lesson. Online lessons show Online on their card in Explore and say Where: Online, by video call on their page.
  2. Press Buy now and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  3. You get Your seat: … by email, with a calendar file that adds the lesson to your calendar.

The link is only shown to you, after booking:

  • on your order page (Me › Orders, then the lesson), under Your seat: press Join the lesson;
  • in the booking email and in its calendar entry;
  • in Your lesson starts in about an hour, which arrives as a notification and an email an hour before.

If the teacher changes the link, you get Your lesson has a new link. Your order page always shows the current one.

If the teacher connected the lesson to a class, your order page shows Class gallery with your own code, like K7MQ-4XRA7.

  1. Press Join the class gallery.
  2. Tick I'm 18 or older, I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and I agree to see my child's drawings from this class.
  3. Press Join the class.

The code is for your family only. Don't share it. With more than one child in the lesson, book a seat for each child: each booking gets its own code.

Send your child's drawing

After the lesson:

  1. Open My child's art.
  2. Under the class, press Send a drawing.
  3. Take a photo of the drawing, or pick one from your photos or files. You can send up to three at once.

Photograph only the drawing. No faces, and no names on the front (write them on the back). ChainChum checks each photo before anyone sees it.

You see Sent. It shows here once it's checked, and your teacher sees it. While it's checked, the class shows how many are waiting. Once it passes, it appears in your gallery and in the teacher's class. If it shows something that identifies your child, the teacher looks at it first, and a photo with a face is never shared.

You can send up to 10 drawings to a class in a day.

The teacher may leave a note on the drawing, with stamps like Colour or Effort. It shows under the drawing as A note from your teacher, and you get A note from your teacher when it arrives. See For parents: join your child's class.

Everything else

Saving, deleting, downloading all and leaving the class work as for any class. See For parents: join your child's class.

Troubleshooting

  • "You've sent 10 drawings to this class today": try again tomorrow.
  • "You've already sent this photo": it's already on its way.
  • "That photo couldn't be opened": send a JPEG or PNG. On an iPhone, go to Settings › Camera › Formats and choose Most Compatible.
  • No Class gallery on your order: the teacher didn't connect a class to this lesson. Ask them for a code, then join at chainchum.app/join.
