Agora

Agora Lab maintains Flat, an open-source classroom platform whose Web, Windows and macOS client unifies real-time video, interactive whiteboard, document sharing, screen broadcasting, cloud recording and room management under a single code base. Built for educators, trainers and ed-tech integrators, the software delivers low-latency, WebRTC-driven lessons that scale from one-on-one tutoring to auditorium-sized lectures while preserving whiteboard fidelity and synchronized media playback. Teachers launch scheduled rooms directly from a calendar link, upload PDF or Office slides that convert to editable pages, annotate with vector pens and geometric tools, invite students through short codes, and later download HD recordings segmented by speaker. Students join from any browser or native app, raise hands with emoji reactions, collaborate on the same canvas, and receive after-class homework links. Because the project is MIT-licensed, institutions can self-host on Linux servers, brand the interface, integrate LMS gradebooks, or embed the SDK into existing portals for corporate training, K-12 remote teaching, coding bootcamps and language academies. The Windows build installs quietly, auto-updates through GitHub releases, supports hardware acceleration for 4K screen sharing, and respects GDPR privacy by keeping all data on the school’s own domain. Agora’s Flat classroom software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always fetching the latest release and allowing batch installation alongside other educational tools.
