Classroom Camera Stream
Live document camera feeds and visualizer streams on your board.
Demonstrating physical artifacts, textbook pages, and student notebook samples requires an immediate camera stream. The classroom camera widget displays your USB document camera or webcam directly on your digital whiteboard. Project hands-on experiments and handwriting models in real time with zero driver installs.
“Classroom Camera Stream” is a tool by ClassHelper, the free digital whiteboard for teachers. It runs directly in your browser with no account required and servers in Germany.

How the Classroom Camera Stream works
The Classroom Camera Stream transforms standard USB document cameras, visualizers, and webcams into instant teaching tools. When a teacher needs to showcase an authentic student essay, dissect a flower bud, or model math manipulatives, the camera widget projects the live feed with exceptional clarity.
Because ClassHelper leverages standard browser media APIs, you avoid dealing with proprietary hardware software suites or IT driver permissions. Launch the widget, grant browser camera access, and position the live video anywhere on your interactive display.
Step by step
- Connect your document camera or webcam to your classroom computer via USB.
- Open ClassHelper and add the Camera widget from the media toolbar.
- Grant camera permission in your browser prompt and select your visualizer input device.
- Adjust zoom, flip orientation, or mirror the feed to align with your physical tabletop.
- Place the live stream alongside assignment rubrics or timers during student work periods.
Using Classroom Camera Stream in the classroom
Live handwriting and math modeling. Place base-ten blocks, fraction tiles, or lined notebook paper under your visualizer so all students observe proper problem setups clearly.
Student work celebration and critique. Invite students to place exemplary written responses or creative sketches under the camera for supportive peer evaluation and class discussion.
Science dissections and specimen examination. Magnify small geological rocks, insects, or plant leaves, giving students in the back row equal access to delicate lab demonstrations.
Art technique demonstrations. Model delicate brush techniques, origami folds, or clay sculpting steps live on screen while students follow along at their desks.

Can I flip or mirror the video camera feed?
Yes. One-click mirroring and orientation toggles let you correct mirror views and rotate feeds to match your document camera orientation.
