What's the best spy tool to use for eavesdropping if I am not in the same room?

How about a phone? You could set it to record and hide it somewhere in the room.

They will probably think you're crazy, but just say you are trying to catch a bug.

Question

How do I eavesdrop on a certain group of people in a noisy classroom that I am in?

Community Answer

You could ask the teacher to move you closer to them, or if you can, get up and pretend you're doing something near them.

Question

What if they are in the same room as me and they are talking quietly?

Community Answer

Do something near them. For example, if they are sitting at a desk, pretend to be looking for something in there, and eavesdrop on what they are saying. If they are asking why are you so close to me, say you have a question for them, then you ask it. You can also hide if that is possible.
