Our Solution SMART CLASS bot will join the online meeting on ZOOM and collect the information from the browser client in the background of the host's computer. And will analyze the behaviour of the students/members.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Zoom has no API for accessing a lot of the features we wanted to use, like the number of people raising their hands, the ability to send messages, the ability to get current users, etc.
  2. While we had success with actually doing recognition of facial expressions, but making machine learning model that is accurate was tough task.
