Inspiration
My wife is a teacher, she is trying to deal with 80+ locked-up teenagers with google meet, it's a mess.
What it does
Some hacks to virtualize web-cam devices, pulseaudio with linux to stream videos/audio with better quality than "simple presentation-with-webcam". Google meet, skype, zoom, or any meeting software can be presented using OBS studio with better control, quality and live-features.
Google meet api fixes like grid view, mute all, mute by group, kick user.
How I built it
Lots of hacks and workarounds linux-client-side (for teacher), chrome api to control students.
Challenges I ran into
v4l2loop devices, ffmpeg, kernel modules, network problems
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Almost evertything working flawlessly, the video/audio quality is much better.
What I learned
The world educational system is not prepared to teenager home schooling.
What's next for Online teenagers classrooms
Features to organize groups inside a Google meet session.
