Interactive tools for live online lessons

Timers, polls, quizzes, and other classroom widgets — prepared before class, launched during your video lesson, and reviewed after with student responses.

Widgets show up right inside your video feed — on Google Meet, Zoom Web, Microsoft Teams Web, and other browser-based video lessons.

For online teachers, tutors, and small education teams.

Online lessons are harder to manage than they should be

During a live online lesson, teachers often need to keep students focused, check understanding, manage time, ask quick questions, and collect feedback.

But most tools are separate from the video call. Teachers have to switch tabs, open different apps, manage links, watch the chat, and keep teaching at the same time. This breaks the lesson flow and makes students less engaged.

Students stay silent or passive

It is hard to check understanding quickly

Teachers switch between too many tools

Timers, polls, and quizzes are not connected to the lesson

Group activities are difficult to manage online

After class, it is hard to review participation and responses

Simple widgets that make lessons more active

Choose the right widget for the moment: a timer for practice, a poll to check understanding, a quiz to review learning, or a student picker to keep everyone involved.

Questions

Do students need to install anything?

No. The teacher uses the Chrome extension. Students can respond through a simple link, QR code, or class code.

Does it work with Google Meet?

Google Meet is one of the main platforms we plan to support first.

Does it work with Zoom?

The product is designed for browser-based video lessons, including Zoom Web. Native Zoom app support may require a separate virtual camera mode in the future.

Is it only for group classes?

No. It can be useful for both group classes and 1-on-1 lessons.

Is this like OBS?

No. OBS is powerful but complex. This product is designed to be simple enough for everyday online teaching.

Can I prepare activities before class?

Yes. You can prepare activities, widgets, student lists, polls, quizzes, and lesson assets in the web dashboard.

Can I see results after class?

Yes. The dashboard will show student responses, quiz results, participation, and lesson activity history.

Is this product available now?
