Supported devices and browsers
💡 No logins or downloads are required to use Lessonspace.
Our goal is to make Lessonspace as accessible as possible and to make it easy to invite people to your Space. This is why we don't require any logins or downloads to join a Space! We do this thanks to WebRTC, which can be built into most modern browsers.
Desktop & Laptop Computers
Check that you and your students are using Chrome (version 115+). If they're not, ask them to switch to ensure Lessonspace works properly.
Chrome 115+ [Recommended]
Android Devices
Use the Chrome browser (version 115+) to go directly to Lessonspace. Simply copy the Lessonspace URL into your browser and you'll join the Space.
Chrome 115+ [Recommended]
iOS Devices
You can click on the Space link just like on a desktop. The mobile/tablet experience closely matches that of our desktop version.
Safari 16+ [Recommended]
The only feature currently missing from iOS is screen sharing capabilities due to Apple's limitation.
Check the latest browser versions
You can check and update to the latest versions using the following links:
Mobile and tablet access
- iOS: Use Safari to open the link.
- Android: Use Chrome to access Lessonspace directly via the shared URL.
Network requirements
Ensure you have an internet speed of at least 5Mb/s download, and at least 3Mb/s upload.
You can run a speed test by Googling "Internet speed test".
To have a smooth screen-sharing experience, ensure a minimum of 4Mb/s upload.
During your lesson:
- Make sure no one is downloading or uploading data through BitTorrent or other P2P applications.
- Stay close to your router.
- Use a wired connection if possible.
Shared network considerations
On shared networks, like schools or offices, internet speed can vary due to multiple users and background activity.
This may impact Lessonspace performance.
To ensure the best experience:
- Close unnecessary applications
- Stay near the router
- Use a wired connection if available
For setting up Lessonspace in school environments (those with firewalls), please refer to our guide here.
