A live class is a small online session at set times, such as a role-play practice group. Learners book a time, then join from HowNow.

You need Admin, Manager or Contributor access. If Use HowNow Virtual isn't offered, your workspace has it turned off and you'll need a custom link.
Create the live class
Select + at the top of the sidebar, then Host a Session › Live Class. The editor opens in a new tab and saves a draft straight away.
On Information, add the name, a summary and a description. Under Thumbnail, choose an image, then select Save & Continue.
On Date & Time, choose the Live Class Duration and, under When do bookings close?, how long before the start people can still book. For example, 1 Hours stops bookings an hour before.
