What LumenBoard is
LumenBoard is a browser-based tutoring room that combines live video, a shared whiteboard, chat, recordings, and AI lesson notes. Student rooms keep the same URL between sessions and retain their whiteboard. Boards support multiple pages, PDF overlays, images, and rendered math equations. The service works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, and its room adapts to desktop, tablet, and phone without an app installation. AI notes start off, with students and parents opting in separately; lesson data is not used to train models. Paid plans automatically record sessions longer than 25 minutes, capturing the board and audio rather than the camera grid. Tutor keeps recordings for 30 days; Tutor Pro and organization plans keep them for a year. Guests must be admitted before receiving video or board access. The free plan allows two active rooms, one teaching hour per day, three hours per week, and 1:1 sessions. Tutor costs $15 per month and Tutor Pro costs $29 per month; a 7-day trial is offered. Organization plans are listed at $59–$249 per month, with pricing by educator band.
