MOOZ: Video Platform for Music

Mooz is my go to app for teaching online music lessons. It is far better than zoom. I like that there is also a timer to track how long a lesson has been going.

As a full-time music educator, I’ve spent the last several months using MOOZ.pro to teach over 40 students. When I first began using the platform with a smaller group, I was genuinely excited. MOOZ is designed specifically for music lessons, and it shows—there are thoughtful features like an audio player for my voice students that go beyond what general video platforms like Zoom or Google Meet offer. It was a refreshing change and felt promising. Because of this, I transitioned my entire student roster to MOOZ. The vision behind the platform is clear: to create a space where music instruction can thrive with minimal distractions and seamless integration of tools. I genuinely believe in that mission. However, as with any growing technology, expanding the platform's use brought some challenges to light—connectivity issues, audio and video inconsistencies, and difficulties with screen sharing among them. And as of now, the mobile/tablet app has been classified as a “helper” app and tech support does not recommend using it, but suggests everyone uses a PC for lessons. This worries me due to accessibility for all students and even teachers, as a lot of people can’t afford a PC and only have a phone or a tablet. That said, what gives me hope is that the MOOZ tech team has been responsive to my feedback, and I can tell they’re actively working to improve the platform. They've already addressed several bugs and have taken note of other issues I’ve flagged. I also really hope they continue to develop and improve the mobile/tablet app to ensure accessibility to everyone who wants to take lessons. It’s also worth mentioning that MOOZ doesn’t currently offer a web-based version, which can be limiting for families using Linux computers or Fire tablets and can’t download the app to their device. For some devices there is a work around this, but it's something to keep in mind. I'm excited about what MOOZ has to offer and I'm looking forward to seeing it constantly improve and grow.

I have taught well over 10,000 virtual guitar lessons. Mooz is not ready to go. It is buggy. I tried a session with a student who has done scores of lessons with me. Mooz would not allow us to use it's any of the functions, he was on a windows machine & I was using my MacBook Pro. When I contacted tech support about these issues, they were no help. Russian based. Zoom just works, Mooz doesn't. Annoying app and company.
