Question 1

Can teachers use SysOverlay without a school IT department?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many teachers and adjuncts do not have a help desk on speed dial. SysOverlay gives plain-English alerts — low disk before lesson files won't save, repeat crashes before a hybrid class — with click-to-run Fixlets on that machine. Plus lets a department head or tech coordinator see enrolled staff and lab PCs in one dashboard without enterprise RMM complexity.

Question 2

I'm a teacher, not an IT person — will I understand the alerts?

Accepted Answer

Alerts say things like "free disk below 15 GB" or "this app crashed 5 times this week" — not technical error codes. SysOverlay points to local fixes on that PC before students are waiting on a frozen slide or a dead video link.

Question 3

Does SysOverlay access student records or gradebook data?

Accepted Answer

No. SysOverlay collects read-only health metrics — disk space, CPU, battery, crash counts — not file contents, keystrokes, browsing history, or gradebook data. Repair tools run only on the physical computer in front of the user. There is no remote desktop into enrolled machines.

Question 4

What does SysOverlay cost for teachers or small departments?

Accepted Answer

The Windows agent is free on each PC — no account required. Home Plus or Pro is annual billing per licensed device you enroll (staff laptop, classroom machine, cart PC, etc.). See pricing for current rates.
