ClassTablet vs running classes on bare Zoom or Google Meet links
Last updated:
A bare Zoom or Meet link is enough for one teacher with one standing link and a few students. ClassTablet is the better fit with many batches, when you need a record of who attended, recordings that reach students and less time spent writing up class notes. Zoom and Meet integration comes with the Custom plan.
Since the pandemic many coaching centres teach online with a Zoom or Google Meet link pinned in a Messenger group. The link works, but it gets passed around, there is no record of who was in class, and students cannot find where the recording went.

What ClassTablet does automatically
AI agent
AI class notes
From a class recorded in ClassTablet, the AI writes a timestamped transcript and notes in Bangla and English. Nothing is published on its own: the teacher reads the notes and decides when students see them.
Automation
End-of-class report
When the teacher ends a live class, ClassTablet builds a report for that session and tells the teacher, showing who joined through ClassTablet.
When bare Zoom links is enough
A bare Zoom or Google Meet link is enough when:
- You teach alone and every class runs on one standing link.
- Classes are small and you can see who is there on screen.
- Students never need recordings or class notes.
- Running at no cost matters most right now.
How to move over
- 1
Connect Zoom
A teacher connects their own Zoom account from settings. ClassTablet imports their meetings, and the teacher links each one to the right classroom.
- 2
Bring students into classrooms
An admin imports the student list from a CSV or Excel file. Instead of pinning a link in the group, tell students to join classes from ClassTablet.
- 3
Record one class and read the notes
Record your next class in ClassTablet, read the notes the AI writes, and publish them to the classroom if they are right.
Frequently asked questions
Does ClassTablet replace Zoom or Google Meet?
No. The class still runs on Zoom or Google Meet. ClassTablet ties the meeting to the classroom, has students join from there, and keeps track of who came and where the recording is.
Which plan includes the Zoom integration?
Zoom and Google Meet integration comes with the Custom plan, priced by agreement. AI class notes use AI credits, which are bought separately.
Does the AI send notes to students by itself?
No. The AI writes the notes, but students see nothing until the teacher publishes them. Whether students can play the original recording is a separate switch the teacher controls.
