In-Session Tools

When you are in an active lesson, Voila provides tools for recording, collaboration, and AI-powered assistance. The available tools depend on whether you use the in-platform classroom or an external video platform with the Bot or Local Recorder.

Recording Methods​

Choose your recording method globally in Settings → Subscription, or override it per-lesson when creating or entering a session.

MethodRecordsBest for
BotAudio + Video (video kept 14 days)Sessions on Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams where you want automatic full video recording.
Local RecorderAudio onlyGoogle Meet, Zoom, or Teams sessions where audio transcription is sufficient.
In-PlatformAudio + VideoSessions run entirely inside the Voilà classroom.
No RecorderNothingSessions where no transcript or AI summary is needed. Only the $1.50 base fee applies.

The Bot joins your external video call as a participant. You need to admit it from the meeting lobby when it appears. The Local Recorder extension can be activated in your browser during external platform sessions — no bot needs to be admitted.

In-Platform Classroom​

When using the Voila (In-Platform) option, the entire lesson runs inside voila.fun with built-in video and the following tools:

Chat​

Real-time text chat with your student. Chat history is saved and accessible after the session ends on the lesson detail page.

Private Notes​

A personal notepad visible only to you. Anything written here saves automatically and persists across sessions with the same student. Notes appear in your student's Learning Insights panel.

Board​

  • Insert Teaching Assistant exercises or pre-prepared lesson plans

  • Real-time collaboration — tutor and students see each other's edits live

Screen​

A collaborative canvas where both you and your student write and draw simultaneously:

  • Real-time collaboration
  • Use for brainstorming, diagramming grammar structures, writing practice, or visual explanations
  • Upload and present images and PDFs

Teaching Assistant​

Generate exercises directly during a session without leaving the interface:

  1. Open the Teaching Assistant panel.
  2. Select mode, level, mechanism, and exercise type.
  3. Generate and insert the exercise into the Board.

AI Chat​

An AI assistant available during the session for quick queries:

  • Translate words or phrases
  • Look up grammar rules
  • Generate example sentences

All tools mentioned above are also available in other plans via the browser extension.

Post-Session​

After a session ends, Voila automatically:

  1. Processes the recording (if applicable).
  2. Generates a transcript with speaker attribution and word-level timing.
  3. Creates an AI summary using your selected summary template.
  4. Sends the summary by email to both you and the student.
  5. Makes everything accessible on the lesson detail page.

Sessions recorded with No Recorder skip steps 1–4; no transcript or summary is generated.
