Google Classroom's People tab is an open list of teacher and students profile information. This is a privacy concern as parents don't want their kids to be easily identified and contacted.

This article demonstrates how Safe Doc hides the People tab in Google Classroom. If you have yet to install Safe Doc, apply a 30 days trial.

What's changing?

The People tab displays the teacher and a list of students who enrolled this class. The students have profile photo, full name and email address displayed.

Safe Doc hides the entire People tab so students cannot see or find other classmates. Only the teacher(s) have the list.
