# Teach a thousand people at once, with one voice and a chat that behaves *Live teaching* For seminars, webinars and open sessions where you present and the audience watches. One-way video by construction, a chat you moderate, and recordings and resources kept with the session afterwards. Try it on Jversity: https://jversity.com/services/live-classes ## Who it is for - A teacher running a seminar or an open session for a large audience - An institute running a free introductory session to fill its batches - Anyone presenting to more people than a video grid can hold ## What it does ### One-way by construction A viewer in a broadcast has no microphone and no camera. That is not a setting somebody can leave switched off; the platform refuses to issue a viewer the credentials to publish at all. - The teacher presents; the audience watches - No viewer microphone or camera, enforced when the join credential is issued - No moderation panic when a stranger unmutes, because they cannot - Your own preview of exactly what the audience sees ### Chat that stays usable at scale The audience talks in chat. Each person has their own rate limit, so one enthusiastic viewer cannot flood the room, and a throttled message tells its sender rather than vanishing. - Live chat for the whole audience - A per-person rate limit, not a shared one - A rate-limited message says so instead of disappearing - Moderators who do not consume a paid seat ### Resources instead of homework A broadcast is not a classroom, so it does not pretend to set homework. It hands the audience what a presenter actually hands out: slides, worked papers, link sheets. - Slide decks, worked papers and link sheets attached to the session - Lesson notes kept alongside - Recordings published to the session afterwards - Classwork and homework deliberately refused ### Reliable start and a clean finish Students cannot arrive before you do, and ending the broadcast really ends it: the stream stops, the class closes, and the recording finalises. - The audience door opens only once your stream is actually connected - Live ingest status you can watch while you set up - One end action that stops the stream, ends the class and finalises the recording - A player that reports an error instead of showing a dead frame ### Sold like a cohort A broadcast series is bought once, for the run, on your own payment account, with the same enrolment controls a batch has. - A one-time price for the series - Start and end dates for the run - Enrolment window and closed-enrolment messaging - Checkout on your own payment gateway account ## How it is used 1. **Schedule the session** — Create the classroom in broadcast format, set the dates and the price, and open enrolment. 2. **Connect your stream** — Take your ingest credentials into whatever you present with, and watch the status until it is live. The audience cannot arrive before that. 3. **Present** — Talk to the audience, watch the chat, and hand out resources as you go. Your own preview shows exactly what they see. 4. **End it properly** — One action stops the stream, ends the class and finalises the recording, which is then published with the session. ## How it is built - **A viewer cannot be given a microphone** — The token that lets someone publish audio or video is refused outright for a broadcast audience. Silence is a property of the room, not a setting that could be wrong. - **The audience is your enrolment** — There is no second, separate viewer cap that could refuse someone who has already paid. The number of people who bought the series is the only ceiling that matters. - **A moderator does not take a seat** — The viewer count is the number of paying people admitted. Your own moderators do not eat into what a student paid for. - **An abandoned broadcast still finalises** — If your machine dies mid-session, a sweep ends the class after a grace period through the same path you would have used, so the recording is finalised rather than lost. ## Questions we get asked ### How many people can watch? As many as you have enrolled. There is no separate viewer wall that could turn away someone who has already paid; capacity is a matter of the video plan your organisation is on. ### Can viewers speak? No, and not by accident either. The platform will not issue a viewer the credentials to publish audio or video, so a broadcast is one-way by construction. ### Can I set homework in a broadcast? No. A broadcast hands out resources such as slides and worked papers instead. If you need homework and grading, use a batch. ### What if my stream drops? The player reports the error rather than freezing, and if the session is abandoned entirely it is ended properly after a grace period so the recording still finalises.
