built by instructors, for instructors, since 1999
One grid. Every student's screen. One click to help.
Real lab VMs for every student. The slides, your voice and every student's screen in the same window.
Every student's live screen on one grid, with voice and video for the whole class.
Put a slide deck or any machine's screen on the stage. One click to switch.
Drop onto any student's machine and take the keyboard and mouse. One click from the grid.
meeting app + lab setup + a login for each -> labconsole
LabConsole replaces the separate tools it takes to run a live class, each with its own setup and its own logins.
One place to run the labs, watch the room, present the material, and talk to your class. Students open a browser and type an access code - no accounts, no installs, no VPN.

The instructor grid
Every student's live screen at a glance. Walk the virtual aisles, spot who is stuck, and drop into their machine with one click - hands on their keyboard, not a screen share.

Real lab machines
Full KVM virtual machines - any x86 operating system, kernels, reboots, broken configs and all. Each student gets a private multi-VM lab with its own networks, IPv4 and IPv6, in the browser.

Built by instructors
27 years of hands-on IT training behind it
LabConsole is built by Guru Labs, the hands-on Linux training company. Our instructors asked for a grid of live screens because they missed seeing the room, and we have taught on it every week since.
