The Google Meet alternative built for live classes
Google Meet is simple and familiar, which is why many teachers start there. These are the limits they run into as batches grow.

Why teachers move from Google Meet
Recording needs a higher plan, then lives in Drive
Free Meet calls can't be recorded. On paid Workspace plans, recordings land in the teacher's Google Drive, and sharing them means sharing Drive links that anyone can pass on. SuperMeet records every class automatically and plays it back through protected links.
No real teaching board
With Jamboard discontinued, teachers on Meet share a screen and draw in another app. TeacherZone puts the PDF, the board and your camera in one place that students see clearly on a phone.
Participant caps by plan
Meet's participant limit depends on your Workspace tier. SuperMeet prices by class, and a large batch simply costs ₹0.80 per extra student-hour.
When Google Meet is enough
For short tutoring sessions or parent meetings under an hour, Meet's free plan works well. SuperMeet is for institutes running full batches every day.
