Future-proof your institution. Deeply integrate Zoom, Google Meet, and MS Teams directly into your official digital timetable to prevent unauthorized entry and automate attendance.
Secure Your Online ClassesManaging online classes by manually copying URLs into WhatsApp groups invites dangerous security risks and provides zero administrative oversight.
When URLs are forwarded in open groups, outsiders can hijack the links, entering the classroom to disrupt lessons and harass students.
Taking a manual roll call during a 40-minute online class consumes up to 15 minutes of valuable instructional time.
If a teacher is experiencing technical difficulties, the Principal has no dashboard to verify if a scheduled virtual class actually commenced.
Students simply open their SchoolDeck app, view their personalized daily schedule, and click "Join Class". No Meeting IDs to memorize, no passwords to lose.
While physical campuses have reopened, the expectation for continuous educational delivery has fundamentally changed. A modern school cannot afford to halt academic progress due to heavy monsoons, civic unrest, extreme pollution days, or localized health mandates.
Being "Hybrid-Ready" means your institution possesses the technological infrastructure to pivot from 100% offline learning to 100% online learning overnight, without disrupting the established Timetable. Relying on teachers to create ad-hoc Google Meet links on Sunday evenings is not a sustainable strategy.
Virtual Classroom Software for Schools is a specialized enterprise module that bridges standalone video conferencing tools (like Zoom or MS Teams) with a school's core administrative and academic databases.
It is not a replacement for Zoom; it is the management layer built on top of it. While Zoom handles the video transmission, SchoolDeck handles the scheduling, the highly secure authentication of attendees, automated attendance extraction, and the delivery of supplementary materials like digital homework.
The term "Zoombombing" refers to the highly disruptive practice where unauthorized individuals gain access to an online class to harass students. This occurs entirely because meeting links are freely circulated on insecure platforms.
SchoolDeck neutralizes this threat through Cryptographic Link Masking. The raw URL is never displayed. Instead, the student logs into the secure Parent App portal using their unique credentials. When they click the "Join" button, the system executes an API handshake, authenticating the user's ID against the Student SIS roster before dropping them directly into the video feed.
In a digital environment with 40 muted microphones, tracking presence is incredibly difficult. Students quickly learned they could log in, turn off their camera, and walk away while still being marked present.
SchoolDeck introduces Duration-Based Attendance Algorithms. The software constantly polls the video provider's API. If a 45-minute class is scheduled, administrators can set a rule stating that a student must maintain an active connection for a minimum of 35 minutes to earn the "Present" mark. This data is automatically aggregated and injected into the master attendance ledger.
A common concern for Indian educational institutions is internet bandwidth. Heavy, proprietary video streaming software often fails on unstable 4G mobile networks.
By acting as an integration layer, SchoolDeck allows schools to leverage the globally optimized server infrastructure of Google (Meet) and Microsoft (Teams). These platforms utilize adaptive bitrate streaming, dynamically lowering video resolution to preserve audio clarity when a student's internet connection degrades.
Standalone video tools force administrators to manually schedule hundreds of recurring meetings every week. SchoolDeck’s Virtual Classroom is natively fused with the Automatic Timetable Generator.
If the physical timetable dictates that Class 9A has Chemistry at 10:00 AM on Tuesdays, that exact schedule is mirrored digitally. If the Principal assigns a proxy teacher via the Staff HRMS due to illness, the digital Host permissions are instantly transferred to the substitute teacher.
Allowing students to record classes locally on their devices creates intellectual property issues for the school.
When integrated with premium accounts (like Zoom Pro), SchoolDeck facilitates Secure Cloud Recording. When the lecture concludes, the video file is automatically pushed directly into the Academic Repository. Students can stream the lecture securely within the portal, but they cannot download the raw file.

| Proxy Management | Requires creating new links. | Instant Host transfer to substitute. |
SchoolDeck integrates flawlessly with the free consumer versions of Google Meet and Zoom. However, if you require sessions longer than 40 minutes on Zoom, or want cloud recording, the school will need premium licenses, which we will plug into the platform.
Our 'Secure Bridge' technology completely masks the actual meeting URL. Students must log into the SchoolDeck app to click 'Join'. The system verifies they belong to that specific class roster before establishing the connection.
Yes. The teacher initiates the digital session from the classroom smart-board. The system marks the physical students present via standard attendance, while concurrently tracking the digital duration of students at home, unifying both datasets.
Because SchoolDeck utilizes Zoom/Meet infrastructure, the meeting room does not immediately collapse if the Host's connection drops. The teacher can simply click "Join" on their portal once their connection is restored to resume Host control.
Be prepared for any disruption. Transition from chaotic WhatsApp links to a secure, highly managed, and automated digital campus environment.
