## What it is
Veyon is a free, open-source, cross-platform application for monitoring and controlling computers in classrooms and training environments. Teachers can view student screens, broadcast their own screen, lock devices, transfer files, and remotely power or reboot machines.

## Use cases
- monitor all student computers in a classroom from one screen
- broadcast the teacher's screen to students in realtime
- lock student screens and input devices during a lesson
- remotely control a student's computer to provide support
- distribute worksheets and collect completed tests from students
- remotely power on, off, or reboot lab computers
- take screenshots of student screens to document progress

## When to choose
- you manage a school computer lab or digital classroom
- you need free, open-source classroom management without licensing costs
- you run virtual trainings and need screen sharing and remote control
- you need cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS clients

## When to avoid
- you only need simple one-to-one remote desktop without classroom features
- you need employee surveillance rather than educational use
- you require a cloud-hosted SaaS solution rather than self-managed software
- students' privacy policies prohibit screen monitoring
