Record or stream classes
When it comes to presenting a lesson, you should do what suits you and your students best. With Switcher, you can record, edit, and upload your lessons for students to view and review when they need to. Or, you can live stream and interact with your students. No matter which learning experience you choose, know that you can always count on exceptional, consistent video quality.
Reach students on social or your site
Streaming private or public lessons is also all in your hands with Switcher. Choose to stream privately on your website or publicly with our seamless platform integrations and built-in Multistreaming functionality. That means you can stream classes to YouTube, Facebook, Microsoft Stream, and more, all at the same time. Enjoy seamless integrations with major platforms and your website to make teaching simpler.
Capture Everything While Recording
Don’t miss capturing a second of your class demonstration. Switcher allows you to connect up to nine iPhones and iPad cameras so you get every angle for your students. Need to supplement your lesson with a quick slideshow or example on your computer screen? We can handle that, too. With our free Switcher Cast companion app, you can share Mac and PC screens right into your Switcher production.
add multimedia during lessons
The best online lectures and classes have visual content that compliments the lesson. It’s not always easy to add in multimedia to a live stream or video without extra work, though. Good thing there’s Switcher! Switcher allows educators to easily have more control over their videos and live streams. Add texts, graphics, photos, and videos in real-time to make lessons even more interesting and engaging. Customize any of our animated text graphics, title cards, and instructions with fonts and colors that suit your teaching style, or upload your own.
invite speakers and students with remote guests
Looking to host a live-streamed event with guest speakers for your college course? Or need students to give a presentation to the class? Switcher can help. Share your stream’s Remote Guests URL and speakers and students can join the conversation from their browser (no special software needed). Easily invite up to five remote guests while you control the layout and display.
Embed video on your website
Switcher doesn’t just help you create videos, it also helps you distribute them, too. With the Switcher player, you can embed a video player on almost any website. Upload recorded videos or stream lessons directly to your player. No need to worry about algorithms, third-party logos, or ads popping up in the middle of teaching. Plus, with the ability to create playlists of content, you can organize lessons and classes into programs for your students to easily find and follow.
Don’t have a website? No problem — you can still own and share your lessons. Each Switcher Player has a unique share link for a single landing page. No need to embed anything. Your students will still be able to watch your videos and expand their knowledge.
monetize your lessons
Once you’re hosting your online classes on your website, you can start to collect payment for your courses. For educators who don’t use a traditional tuition structure, video monetization is essential.
Luckily, with Switcher, gating content is simple. Create a Pass, set a price, and choose which videos you want to put in that collection. Pick one recorded video lesson, a new live streamed class, or a group of lectures to include in your Pass. Once students purchase a Pass, they’ll have access to all the content included in the collection.

“About two years ago the students who did the morning announcements over the PA wanted to see if they could try and do a live video edition. From one show a week, to three shows a week last year, we now stream the announcements everyday. The feedback from the students is overwhelmingly positive.”Dan MorganTeacher at Saint Mary's College High School

“Switcher has made this process much easier. So far we have streamed 67 chapel services (11 per week), a senior athletics ceremony, class ring ceremony and more. I also have a group of students who are learning to use the technology and getting more involved in front and behind the camera. It is such a user-friendly product.”Brad WilliamsDigital Media Coordinator at Ascension Episcopal School
