Live classes, one tap from the routine instead of a group link
In ClassTablet every class in the routine keeps its Google Meet or Zoom link. Ten minutes before start, a Start Class button opens for the teacher and a Join Class button for students. On Zoom the teacher gets a fresh host link each time, so nobody needs the institution's Zoom password.
Zoom and Meet integration is part of the Custom plan. The two pages below show how a teacher starts a class from the routine and how a student joins in one tap. Each classroom chooses Google Meet or Zoom for itself.
Features in this area
- Stop the host link being passed around
Starting a class sends the teacher in as host, and where the class is already running it sends them in as an ordinary participant instead of a second host.
- Join online classes from the routine, not a group link
Students stop hunting for links in the group. Today's Schedule and the classroom list carry a Join Class button, and a reminder arrives 30 minutes ahead.
- Start a scheduled online class as host in one tap
Ten minutes before class, Start Class lights up in the routine. One tap opens Google Meet or Zoom, and on Zoom the teacher becomes host with no password.
Frequently asked questions
Can students get into class early?
The Join Class button opens 10 minutes before the class starts. Before that the button shows a countdown of how long until class begins.
Should we use Google Meet or Zoom?
Each classroom chooses its own. Zoom if the institution has its own Zoom account, Meet if it has Google Workspace. A switch applies to classes scheduled from then on; links already made keep working.
Can students join from a phone?
Yes. A student opens ClassTablet in the phone's browser and taps Join Class; the Zoom or Google Meet link opens in whichever of them the phone has.
