Live classes that don't end when you say "bye for now".
Built-in cloud room — no third-party video-conferencing seat needed for you or your students. Cloud recording uploads straight to your CDN. We send the invites, mark attendance, stitch the recap, and email everyone when the recording is ready. Zero infra to host.

Inside the live room
Engagement primitives every class needs.
Six features that used to require third-party plugins or separate tools — all native, all persisted to the recording.
Live polls
2–4 option polls with a launch composer in the host rail and a vote card on every student's stage. Results update live. Launch and result broadcasts fan out as notifications to every invited participant — even the ones who weren't in the room.
Notifications hit students + co-instructors
Raised-hand queue
Students raise hands without unmuting. The host sees them ordered by raise time with Answer / Lower buttons. The button pulses primary the moment any hand goes up so the host doesn't need the panel open to know.
Live #N in queue badge for students
Mark agenda done
The agenda you set pre-class becomes a host checklist mid-class. Tap ✓ to mark done, ⏭ to skip — each with a timestamp. Late joiners see real coverage instead of time-inferred guesses.
Header chip shows 3/7 covered
Waiting-room presence
The host preflight shows 'N waiting now' and the first 5 names live as students arrive in the lobby. No more guessing whether to open the room with only one student visible.
3s polling, 15s staleness window
Time-left pill
Host-only in-call indicator that shows 'Time left: 18m' while in window, flips to amber (+7m over) past the planned end, and red after +15 min. Wrap-up cues without checking the clock.
30s tick, no CPU burn
Chat persists to recording
The class chat doesn't evaporate when the room closes. Every message is buffered live, flushed to the session record on End, and rendered alongside the video so re-watchers get the side-channel context.
