Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Simpleclass

What is Simpleclass?

Simpleclass is a professional video classroom platform built for education. Unlike Zoom or Teams, we focus on one thing: giving teachers real control over breakout rooms. You can monitor all rooms simultaneously, join invisibly, move students between groups, and more.

How is Simpleclass different from Zoom or Teams?

The main difference is breakout room control. In Zoom and Teams, you can only be in one room at a time. With Simpleclass, you can monitor all rooms simultaneously, listen to multiple rooms at once, and join rooms invisibly without disrupting students. We're also EU-based with full GDPR compliance.

Who is Simpleclass for?

Simpleclass is designed for tutoring institutions, language schools, and educational organizations that run small-group online classes. If you need to manage multiple breakout rooms and want real control over what happens in each group, Simpleclass is for you.

Can I really monitor multiple breakout rooms at once?

Yes! This is our signature feature. You can see all your breakout rooms in one dashboard, hear audio from multiple rooms simultaneously, and see who's talking, who's silent, and who has their camera on — all without leaving the main view.

What does 'join invisibly' mean?

When you join a breakout room invisibly, students don't see that you've entered. You can observe and listen without disrupting the conversation. This is perfect for authentic assessment of group work.

How much does Simpleclass cost?

Simpleclass starts at €8 per user per month. All features are included in every plan — no tiers, no hidden costs. We offer a 7-day free trial with up to 10 users, no credit card required.

How does the free trial work?

You can try Simpleclass free for 7 days with up to 10 users. All features are available during the trial. No credit card required to start. If you decide to continue, you simply add a payment method.

Is Simpleclass GDPR compliant?

Yes, fully. We're a Dutch company (Simpleclass B.V.), all data is hosted on EU servers in the Netherlands and France, and we never share data with non-EU entities. We provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for all institutions.

Where is my data stored?

All data is stored on EU servers operated by Scaleway and OVH, located in the Netherlands and France. No data is transferred outside the EU.

Can I record sessions?

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.

How many breakout rooms can I create?

You can create as many breakout rooms as you need. There's no artificial limit. The practical limit depends on how many students are in your session.

What are the technical requirements?

Simpleclass works in any modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). No downloads or plugins required. A stable internet connection and a webcam/microphone are recommended.

Does Simpleclass work on mobile?

Students can join sessions from mobile browsers. For the best teaching experience, we recommend teachers use a desktop or laptop computer.
