Frequently Asked Questions About Classroom Screen
Is Classroom Screen completely free to use?
Yes—100% free, with zero hidden gates. All core features—including timers, polls, name pickers, noise monitors, QR codes, drawing tools, and YouTube embedding—are fully functional without registration, payment, or installation. A Pro subscription unlocks advanced organization features like saving and labeling custom layouts, but the free version remains deeply capable for daily classroom use.
What devices and platforms support Classroom Screen?
Any device with a current browser: Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android—all supported. Optimized for projection on interactive whiteboards, large displays, and document cameras. For remote teaching, simply share your browser tab in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or any conferencing platform—the widgets remain fully interactive and responsive.
How does the noise level monitor work in Classroom Screen?
The noise monitor uses your device’s microphone to visualize ambient sound intensity in real time—not as recorded audio, but as a dynamic, color-coded meter (green → yellow → red). It requires one-time browser permission and processes audio locally—nothing is uploaded, stored, or analyzed. Ideal for cultivating self-regulation, especially during collaborative or independent work phases.
Can I customize the appearance of my Classroom Screen?
Absolutely. Change widget colors, upload custom backgrounds (classroom photos, student artwork, curriculum-aligned graphics), select from seasonal themes, adjust transparency, and reposition elements freely. With drag-and-drop simplicity, you design a screen that reflects your teaching style—and with Pro, save those designs to reuse, remix, or assign by class period or unit.
How do students participate in Classroom Screen polls?
When you activate the poll, a unique 4-digit code appears on your screen. Students go to joincrs.com, enter the code, and respond instantly on their own devices. Responses are aggregated live and displayed anonymously—no accounts, no apps, no barriers. Perfect for quick checks, exit tickets, or democratic decision-making (e.g., “Which topic should we explore next?”).
