Play with friends, or teach a class

A room puts your friends’ computers on a private network; a class gives every student a computer and the teacher a screen wall.

Create a room

  1. In the app open “Rooms”, then “New room”.
  2. Each account owns up to 3 open rooms or classes.1
  3. Share the invite link; a room holds 8 members.2
  4. Each member starts and pays for their own computer, and the computers see each other on the room network.3

Create a class

  1. Choose “Class” and who pays: you for every seat, or each student. Up to 30 seats at $0.05 per seat-hour.4
  2. Send the student link, and the supervisor link if you want an observer.
  3. Press “Start class”: it opens for 60 minutes by default, and students can start computers only while it is live.5
  4. “End class” ends every student computer.

Screen wall & supervisor

  • The teacher sees student screens live and can end a student’s computer.
  • The supervisor link is view-only: the server drops any key or move from it.6

Leaving & closing

Leaving a room ends your computer in it. Only the owner closes a room; closing ends all its computers and keeps its history.
