Choosing a Video Platform for Online Classes

For online classes, the essentials are unlimited class length, browser-based student joining, and webinar capability that does not require a separate product.

Start with the class experience

Classes, tutoring, and parent meetings rarely fit into a short time window. Choose a platform that supports the session length you need so instructors can focus on teaching rather than restarting links or rotating accounts.

Make joining easy for students

Students may join from shared laptops, phones, and devices where they cannot install software. A browser link removes download, account, and administrator-password barriers, helping students and families arrive on time.

Use meetings and webinars differently

Interactive classes work best as meetings, where everyone can speak and share. Large lectures, orientations, and demo classes often work better as webinars, where a small group presents to a larger audience.

Choose capacity that fits

AONMeetings plans support 25, 100, or 250 meeting and webinar participants, with larger webinar capacity available for bigger events. Recording, summaries, and browser-based joining help instructors make each session useful after it ends.
