How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Check your equipment from every perspective Testing: Test, test, and test your connection with the remote party!
Firewalls: Almost all schools have a firewall installed and it is the single
most challenging issue to be resolved before you start with a
videoconferencing session. Make sure the people at your site know how
to deal with firewall issues and know how to bypass them to exchange
the audio and video streams between your site and the remote site.
