provide feedback without students editing
I work with about 100 4th graders and only use Lumio asynchronously. I have them record a short passage and answer comprehension questions weekly. I would like a way to end the activity but allow students to see feedback I currently have them turn in a paper with their answers and I provide feedback on their paper regarding their fluency and comprehension. I would like to avoid the paper part. I also don't want them altering their work attempts. I want the students to see progress and growth over time.

Please provide teachers with the ability to update and edit live sessions. It is not practical or feasible for teachers to start a new sessi
Teachers should have the ability to edit sessions after they have gone live.

Add a rewind button on the instructor's side
Add a rewind button on the instructor's side - it is greyed out in our teacher's view, yet students can easily undo with the rewind button. Thank you.

text to speech
I would love for the option to read what the choices are in the games. So if doing a matching game, I can include my voice reading it as well.

On-Screen Scrolling “Crawler” for Reminders & Announcements
I’d like to suggest a new feature for Lumio: an on-screen scrolling “crawler” (similar to a news ticker) that can display reminders, announcements, or key information while a presentation or lesson is running.
Purpose & Benefits:
Non-intrusive communication – Important notes can appear without interrupting the flow of the lesson.
Continuous reinforcement – Reminders about due dates, class expectations, or learning goals can stay visible while students work.
Versatility – Could be used for motivational quotes, instructions, or real-time updates.
Key Feature Ideas:
Customizable text & scrolling speed – Teachers can choose what the crawler says and how quickly it…

Some problems with legacy vs new
I think you responded to us by allowing a way to clean up all of our slides, removing all of our hand written content ... but ... your method of doing so is by creating a new file with a new link. That causes other problems, first I need to get back into the google classroom assignment and change the link on every single assignment. Second, now I have a whole new page from you on all these new files being created. I don't want the "class sessions" page at all - give it a month and it is going…

export completed student handout
Hi, I have not seen a way to export completed student handouts. This would be a great way to have students complete formative/ summative assessments within Lumio. Is there a way to do it or can it be added?

Replacing long link format with pre-formatted hyperlink
The current long link on the Join class page (one with QR code) is quite difficult for younger or special needs students to copy without error. i.e. https://lumioclass.com/link/XXXXXX
Would it be possible for the page to preformat a simply hyperlink or a simpler URL.

Remove "flappy bird" game from Student Lobby
We have received multiple requests from teachers asking for the "flappy bird" game to be removed from the Student Lobby in Lumio. [In short - when students are waiting for the teacher to start the activity, if they click the firefly they can play a game while they wait. Students are opting to do this during class time and it is difficult for us to address at a district level because we cannot block access to Lumio.]

Subtitles/Closed Captioning During Presentation
When presenting I would love if the presentation allowed you to use your microphone to allow subtitles/closed captioning during the presentation. These closed captioning/ subtitles would also allow you to get translation into other languages. Many times, our teachers need this and use PowerPoint as their presentation and sometimes go back and forth to use single activities in Lumio. This would create a big buy in.

create your own sticker widget
I would like a widget to be added for teachers to create a 'sticker' (like import a png or jpeg file, perhaps of an anchor chart?) that could be added to the board as a widget and follow all activity.
I am a Spanish teacher. It would be helpful to have key vocabulary or conjugation charts always present on the screen for a day -- even if we are already in split screen.3 votes -
app
I use lumio on my iPad to deliver notes to students. It would be helpful if lumio had an app for IOS that allowed for the use of an apple pencil or stylus that automatically picks up writing, and when using hand touch it moves the screen not the writing. (similar features to notability).

YouTube Viewing Options for Teacher-Paced Lessons
Currently when presenting a teacher-paced lesson, students are able to start an embedded YouTube video instantly on their devices. There is no way for the teacher to control when students are able to start the video which often causes a lot of disruption within the class. Sometimes teachers want to play a YouTube video for the whole class to view together. It would be extremely helpful if teachers could play a YouTube video where students see the video in sync on their devices - OR - where the teacher could at least be able to click the option for students…

Thank you for the great suggestion. We will explore how to provide better control of YouTube video playback in teacher-paced settings.

Synch 2 teacher devices without smart panel
Synch 2 teacher devices so the lesson can be displayed in teacher mode on 1 device, and student feedback can be reviewed on another.
As a board facilitator on lumio, I've seen training where a teacher laptop and a smart panel are synched and the teacher has the lesson open in teacher mode on bode devices.
There should be a feature for teachers without smart panels to do this so that a live lesson can be displayed on screen for students (e.g. individual and group handouts, student paced games) and the teacher can still update and check student data in…

Thank you for sharing your idea! The "lock mode" feature in Google Forms is a special tool designed specifically for Google Workspace for Education and managed Chromebooks. It works because Google Forms is deeply integrated with the Chromebook management system, allowing it to restrict students from accessing other websites or apps during an activity.
Currently, this type of functionality isn’t something external websites like Lumio can achieve because it relies on direct integration with ChromeOS's administrative tools. While it’s not possible at this time, we will continue to monitor changes in technology that might make similar features more accessible in the future. We appreciate your feedback!

Speaker/Presenter Notes
I wish there was a way to add speaker/presenter notes that are only visible on the teacher dashboard.

Add shapes from the Smartboard
We can add shapes from Lumio online, but there is not way for me to add shapes or lines while teaching on the Smartboard.

Disable "Bee" Game while Lesson Loading
While students are waiting for me to begin a lesson in Lumio, I would like to ability to disable the new "bee" game where students beat on their spacebars and yell at each other across the room. This should be an option for educators under their class settings.

Audio translation
It would be great if students could use a translation tool to translate audio added to Lumio slides.
