Yo Teach App

Promoted as an alternative to the popular and defunct Todaysmeet, Yo Teach is a dedicated free platform for backchannel chats. Create an account, then easily create public or password-protected rooms. A strong set of features includes virtual hand-raising, a collaborative whiteboard, polling, room bookmarks, “like” function, and response statistics.
