+

Check browser permissions, select the correct device, close other apps using it, and rejoin the room.

What video platform does Bara House use?
+

Bara House classes take place directly inside our online classroom, so families do not need to leave Bara House to join a live class. Our live video technology is currently powered by Whereby, which is embedded into the Bara House classroom experience.

We may update or change our video provider as the platform develops, but our goal is to keep joining classes simple and seamless for families and teachers.

What internet speed is recommended?
+

Because Bara House classes are live and interactive, we recommend a reliable internet connection of at least 10 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload. For the best experience, especially in households with multiple devices using the internet at the same time, 25 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload or faster is recommended.

A wired Ethernet connection or strong Wi-Fi signal can also help prevent freezing, audio issues, or dropped connections during class.

Can Bara House be used on an iPad or tablet?
+

Many features should work on a current iPad or tablet, although some class activities and classroom controls may work better on a computer.

Can Bara House be used on a Chromebook?
+

Yes, a current Chromebook with a supported browser should work for most classes. Check any class-specific software requirements before enrolling.

What browsers are supported?
+

Bara House should support current versions of major browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.

What technology do I need to use Bara House?
+

You need a reliable internet connection, supported browser, audio output, and usually a microphone. Some classes may also require a camera, printer, or supplies.
