Currently we support Windows and Chrome OS for Classroom Orchestrator.
Mac OS X is on our roadmap but not yet scheduled for release.
iOS is not supported due to Apple restrictions. It is only allowed through the upcoming classroom app included in iOS 9.3
Capabilities vary by OS because we are limited by what the manufacturer allows us to control.
