+# Instructors accessing their student virtual machines from the instructor view
+This article shows how instructors can access their student VMs in classes conducted by other instructors. For example, a teaching assistant can be an instructor for one class but a student in other classes. 
+
+## Access VMs from instructor view
+
+1. Sign in to the [Azure Lab Services website](https://labs.azure.com). You see the labs that you own. These labs may be labs you created yourself or the labs that admin assigned to you as owner. For more information, see [How to add additional owners to an existing lab](how-to-add-user-lab-owner.md)
+2. To access VMs for classes that you attend as a student, select the computer icon in the top-right corner. Confirm that you see VMs you can access a student. In the following example, the user is a teaching assistant for the Python lab, but a student of the Java lab. So, the user sees the VM from the Java lab in the drop-down list. You can start the VM and connect to it.
