In their own words
Lessonspace
Lessonspace is a browser-based virtual classroom for online teaching and tutoring, bringing video calls, a collaborative whiteboard, documents, and teaching tools into one space. Its infinite canvas accepts PDF and Office document imports and includes subject-specific tools such as an equation and graph editor. Spaces include screen sharing, chat, and four video layout modes, with video feeds for up to 10 people. The product also lists breakout rooms, attendance tracking, and class recording. Sessions can be stored free for up to 90 days; keeping recordings longer incurs storage charges. Integrations include Teachworks, Wise, TutorCruncher, TutorBird, Moodle, and WordPress LMS, and a Launch API can embed Lessonspace in another product. It runs in a browser without a software download on laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones, with Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS support. Screen sharing is unavailable on iOS. Plans start at $9/mo and a 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan. Hourly usage is billed per second when at least two connections are active in a Space. Unused monthly hours do not roll over, and excess use is charged at the plan's overage rate.
