Start here

Up and running in about three minutes

You do not need a capture card, a green screen, or OBS. If you can open a browser tab and share your screen, you already know how to do this.

1

Open Studio

Go to numberbender.com/studio in Chrome or Edge. No account, no download. Click Allow when your browser asks for the camera.

2

Pick a layout, add your second pane

Choose Side-by-side, Spotlight, or Dual. Then add what goes next to you — your slides, your iPad screen, or a second app window.

3

Share the Studio tab

In Zoom, Meet, or Teams, hit Share Screen and pick the Numberbender Studio tab. Your students see the finished broadcast, not your messy desktop.

💡 Tip: tick Share tab audio in Zoom or Meet if your lesson includes video or sound.

The tutorials

Five setups, five short videos

Each one is a single setup you can copy in your next class. Start with the first if you teach live on Zoom; start with the second if you are building a following on Reels or Shorts.

Side-by-side camera + slides

Stop shrinking into a corner thumbnail. Put your face at real size right next to your slide, so students read your expression and the math at the same time.

Use it when: you teach live on Zoom, Meet, or Teams and you want presence instead of a voiceover.

Vertical lessons for Reels & Shorts

Record 9:16 lessons straight from your desktop — no phone tripod, no re-cropping afterwards. The layout is built vertical from the start.

Use it when: you want your teaching to reach students where they already scroll.
Watch on YouTube →

iPad + Apple Pencil live whiteboard

Work the problem by hand in real time, streamed beside your camera. For math, watching the steps appear beats any finished slide.

Use it when: you are solving, deriving, or annotating — anything where the process is the lesson.
Watch on YouTube →

Two apps at once (picture-in-picture)

Desmos next to your worksheet. The LMS next to the rubric. Two live windows side by side, so you never alt-tab and lose the room.

Use it when: you are comparing two things — a graph and its equation, a draft and a rubric.

Your iPhone as a broadcast camera

The best camera you own is already in your pocket. This one also covers why your microphone matters more than your camera ever will.

Use it when: your built-in laptop webcam is soft, grainy, or badly lit — which is most of them.

Para sa Filipino teachers

Libre po ito — at gumagana kahit sa lumang laptop

Numberbender Studio was built by a Filipino math professor for teachers who were told broadcast-quality teaching needs a budget. It does not. No subscription, no login, walang bayad — ever.

🇵🇭 Gawa para sa DepEd classrooms

Gumagana sa online at hybrid classes. Kailangan lang ay Chrome at kahit anong laptop — kasama na ang mga Chromebook na binibigay ng paaralan.

💸 Zero budget, zero excuses

No capture card, no green screen, no OBS learning curve. Ang mga tutorial sa itaas ay ilang minuto lang bawat isa.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Numberbender Studio really free?

Yes. No login, no trial, no paywall. Numberbender is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and Studio is part of that mission — good teaching should not be locked behind a subscription.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Studio runs entirely in your browser. If you want it in your dock or taskbar, you can optionally install it as an app from your browser's address bar on Mac or PC.

Which browsers does it work in?

Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other Chromium browsers on Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. Safari and Firefox have limited screen-capture support, so Chrome or Edge is recommended.

Does it work with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Studio does not replace your meeting app — you screen-share the Studio browser tab into whatever platform you already use. That is why it works everywhere.

Does it work on a Chromebook?

Yes. Studio runs in Chrome on ChromeOS, which is one reason it is popular with public school teachers working on issued devices.

Can I record my lesson?

Yes. Studio can record your composed layout directly, including vertical formats for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. You can also just record through Zoom if that is already your workflow.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Your camera and screen stay on your own device. Studio composes the layout locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to Numberbender.

Puwede ba itong gamitin sa DepEd online classes?

Opo. Libre po ito at gumagana sa kahit anong laptop na may Chrome. Marami pong Filipino teachers ang gumagamit nito para sa online at hybrid classes — walang bayad, walang login.

Ready to teach it like you stream it?

Numberbender Studio is 100% free and always will be — because good teaching should not be locked behind a paywall.
