​
How it works

​
Life cycle of a live class

Each live class goes through three states:
1

Scheduled

The instructor creates the class and sets the start date/time. Students see a countdown timer with the scheduled date.
2

Live

At the scheduled time, the instructor starts the broadcast. Students receive a notification and can access the class. If check-in is required, students must confirm attendance before watching.
3

Ended

After the broadcast ends, the class is marked as completed. If the instructor enabled recording, the content remains available for later review.

​
Joining a live class

​
Before the class

1

Check the schedule

Live classes appear on your dashboard and in the course lesson list with the “Live” indicator.
2

Receive the reminder

You receive a notification before the scheduled time.
3

Get ready

Check your internet connection. For Google Meet classes, have your microphone and camera ready if you plan to participate actively.

​
During the class

Jitsi is displayed directly inside the platform, without needing to open another window or install apps.Available features:
  • Integrated camera and microphone
  • Text chat during the class
  • Screen sharing
  • Full-screen mode
  • File sharing with participants
Jitsi works directly in the browser. No apps or extensions need to be installed.

​
Attendance check-in

Some live classes may require mandatory check-in:
1

Access the class at the scheduled time

Click on the live class in your course
2

Confirm attendance

If check-in is required, you will see a confirmation screen. Click “Confirm attendance” to unlock access to the player.
3

Watch the class

After check-in, the player is unlocked and you can watch normally.
Check-in is configured by the instructor individually for each live class. Not all classes require this confirmation.

​
Google Meet integration (Administrators)

​
Setting up the integration

1

Go to Integrations

Admin → Integrations → Google Meet
2

Connect your Google account

The platform uses OAuth2 to connect with the Google Calendar API. Authorize access when prompted.
3

Required permissions

The integration requests access to Google Calendar to automatically create events with Meet conferencing.
4

Test the connection

After connecting, check the integration status. The system shows whether the token is valid and which account is connected.
Google OAuth tokens expire periodically. The platform renews them automatically using the refresh token, but if the integration stops working, reconnect the account in settings.

​
Creating a live class with Meet

When the instructor creates a live class with the “Google Meet” provider:
  1. The platform automatically creates a Google Calendar event with Meet conferencing
  2. The Meet link is generated and saved to the class
  3. Students access it via the button on the platform
  4. The calendar link is also available

​
Live classes and view limits

Live classes are exempt from view limits. This means that even if the course has per-lesson view controls, “live” type lessons do not count toward that limit.

​
