Resposta curta

Studeia's live classes work with the provider your institution already uses: BigBlueButton, Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, with a per-class selector. Credentials are encrypted (AES-256-GCM), recordings are synced automatically and the transcript (Zoom/Teams) can be ingested into the AI tutor. You run live classes inside the platform, without depending on a single video vendor.

Supported providers

Provider	Auth	Join	Recordings	Transcript
BBB	sharedSecret	iframe	Yes, native API	Text provided
Zoom	Server-to-Server OAuth	new tab	Webhook + cron	VTT auto
Teams	Client Credentials	new tab	Graph API + cron	VTT auto
Google Meet	OAuth + Calendar API	new tab	Calendar API + cron	Manual in Meet

Adapter pattern

resolveVideoProvider(tenantId, liveClass?) cascades:

liveClass.videoProvider (if specified)
VideoProviderConfig.isDefault
Tenant.config.bbb (legacy backward compat)
BBB env vars (global fallback)

Webhooks and recording sync

POST /api/webhooks/video/zoom — meeting events + recording.completed
POST /api/webhooks/video/teams — Graph notifications
GET /api/cron/recording-sync — polling every 15min as fallback

Credentials

Stored in VideoProviderConfig with AES-256-GCM. Unique: [tenantId, provider].

Limitations

BBB: needs self-hosted instance (or managed BBB provider). Cost: $20-200/month.
Zoom: duration limit per tier (free=40min, paid=unlimited).
Teams: endMeeting not supported via API.
Google Meet: recording/transcription started manually by host.
Streaming to YouTube/Twitch: not natively supported.

FAQ

What video provider does Studeia use?

4 options: BigBlueButton (default, iframe embed, open-source), Zoom (Server-to-Server OAuth), Microsoft Teams (Azure AD Client Credentials), Google Meet (OAuth admin consent). Admin chooses per tenant (VideoProviderConfig default) or per specific lesson (LiveClass.videoProvider override).

Do BBB and Zoom work the same way for students?

Not exactly. BBB supports iframe embed (joinMethod='iframe', student sees lesson inside Studeia). Zoom, Teams and Meet open in new tab (joinMethod='external', X-Frame-Options blocks iframe). UI shows card with countdown + 'Join' button for these 3.

Are recordings available?

Yes, automatically. Provider webhook notifies when recording is ready + cron /api/cron/recording-sync runs every 15min as fallback. recordingUrl saved in LiveClass. For Zoom/Teams: VTT transcript also captured (creates LiveClassTranscription that can be ingested in RAG).

Can I restrict live class to a specific group?

Yes. LiveClass.classGroupId optional. When set: only students from that group see and can join (critical rules 45-48). Without classGroupId: all enrolled in course see.
