Can I run live classes on Acavya, or keep using Zoom or Google Meet?

Who is it for, and what hurts today?

• Coaching owner: a price-sensitive online batch cannot pay for another expensive platform. Your own Zoom or Meet is free on every plan.
• Faculty: teaching from a phone to students on weak networks, with no way to know who actually attended.
• Student on 2G or 3G: video freezes. Low-data mode keeps audio, whiteboard and a small teacher thumbnail at about 100 to 300 kbps.
• Principal or class teacher: rain days, PTMs and remedial classes that need an online fallback, and staff meetings with no minutes.

What can it do?

• Available now: A built-in classroom on a self-hosted LiveKit server, scheduled from the timetable or a batch, or ad hoc, with a join button in the app or web, a waiting room and roles (host, co-host, student, observer, guest).
• Available now: Teaching tools: teacher camera and screen share, a synced Excalidraw whiteboard that can be exported to PDF, moderated chat, raise hand, mute all, spotlight and polls or instant MCQ quizzes whose results can go into the gradebook.
• Available now: Low-data mode with audio, whiteboard and a 180p teacher thumbnail, joining automatically on weak networks.
• Available now: Auto-attendance from join and leave times and duration with a threshold you set, such as present if at least 70 percent of the class.
• Available now: Recordings played in a synced player, watermarked with the viewer name and a masked phone, available only to enrolled students, with retention set by your plan.
• Available now: Your own Zoom (OAuth), Google Meet (Calendar event with a Meet link), Microsoft Teams (Graph) and Jitsi, picked per batch, with attendance imported where the provider allows.
• Available now: Virtual PTM one-to-one rooms, staff and SMC or PTA meetings with an AI minutes draft that a person approves, and admissions demo classes with guest join by OTP.
• Available now: Breakout rooms, composite MP4 export, Google and Outlook calendar sync and YouTube Live links with a privacy warning.
• Available now: Opt-in live captions, and an AI class summary, key questions and an auto-quiz that the teacher approves before it is published.
• Planned: Smart-panel class mode.

What does the AI do here, and who approves it?

• Meeting minutes for staff, SMC and PTA meetings are drafted from the recording or transcript and approved by a person before they are filed.
• Class recaps, key questions and an auto-quiz are opt-in and metered; the teacher publishes them.
• Captions are opt-in and cost-metered.

How does it work?

Does it work in Hindi, offline and on WhatsApp?

• Low-data mode is aimed at weak mobile networks and 2G or 3G behaviour.
• Your own Zoom, Meet, Teams or Jitsi stays free and unlimited on every plan. Every paid plan also includes a monthly pool of built-in live student-hours; see the pricing page.
• Parents can attend virtual PTMs from a phone with no extra app.

What can it not do?

• Built-in class time beyond your plan’s monthly pool of student-hours is charged per student-hour from the wallet, and low-data mode counts half; see pricing.
• Zoom external accounts need a published Marketplace app and rules have changed in 2026, so we start with link-out rather than an embedded SDK. Google asks that Meet data be used for attendance and not to grade performance.
• Smart-panel class mode, YouTube Live for minors and a paid course store are not in version 1.
• Our acceptance target is 50 participants in one room on staging, not a tested guarantee; larger broadcasts should use YouTube Live with unlisted settings.
