Frequently Asked Questions

Simpleclass is an online classroom platform for tutoring and education organizations. Create courses, schedule sessions, assign teachers and students, and run video classes with chat and file attachments - all from one portal. What sets it apart: teachers can monitor all breakout rooms simultaneously, something Zoom and Teams can't do.

Zoom and Teams are general-purpose conferencing apps. Simpleclass is an organization portal: institutions create courses, schedule sessions, assign teachers and students, and run video classes with chat and file attachments - all from one place. On top of that, teachers get breakout room control that Zoom and Teams don't offer: monitoring all rooms simultaneously, joining multiple rooms at once, and enforcing mandatory camera policies. Everything is EU-hosted and GDPR compliant.

Simpleclass is designed for independent tutors running small groups, tutoring centers, language schools, and training or exam prep organizations. If you teach groups of up to 12 students online and need real oversight over breakout rooms, Simpleclass is for you.

Yes. Unlike Zoom and Teams, you have full control over which breakout rooms you join - as many as you want - and which ones you silently monitor without your students knowing.

There is no hard limit on the number of users in a session - your organization can invite and assign as many participants as needed. That said, Simpleclass works best for groups up to 12 students. For larger groups, we recommend splitting students across breakout rooms, which teachers can monitor simultaneously.

Yes. Every participant needs an account - there are no anonymous invite links. Students don't sign up themselves: the organization admin invites them via email, and they set up their password from there. This ensures only authorized people can access your classes, which is especially important when working with minors.

Yes. Institutions can enable a mandatory camera policy, which means students cannot turn off their camera during a session. This helps teachers verify attendance, maintain engagement, and ensure a professional learning environment - something particularly important for exam prep, language conversation practice, and classes with younger students.

Yes. Simpleclass is designed with the safety of young learners in mind. All participants need an account - no anonymous links. Teachers can monitor all breakout rooms simultaneously, so students are never unsupervised. Mandatory camera policies can be enforced. All data stays on EU servers, and we're fully GDPR compliant. Institutions receive a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for formal compliance.

Yes. Teachers can enable recording when scheduling a session or during the session. Recordings are stored in the cloud and available for instant playback. Course owners can download recordings or share access with students.
