Can I add an online venue to a course?

This guide explains why online venues cannot be added to Courses and shows you two ways to share an online meeting link with your course attendees instead.

📝 Overview

The integration with Zoom currently supports Classes only, so it is not possible to assign an online venue directly to a Course. You can still run your courses online by sharing a meeting link with your attendees, and this guide shows you how.

Online venues let classes take place over a video meeting, and at the moment this is available for Classes rather than Courses. The good news is that you can still deliver a course online by sending your attendees the link to your video meeting. Below you will find two simple ways to do this.


🛠️ How to Run Your Courses Online

Start by creating your course if you have not already done so. You can follow the steps in our guide on creating a course type, then choose one of the two methods below to share your meeting link with attendees.

💡 New to courses? Learn how to set one up in our guide here.


🔗 Send the link with pre-course notifications

You can set up an email that goes out to attendees before each session, which is ideal when you want to include a meeting link. If the link changes from one session to the next, simply update it on the notification.

💡 For step-by-step instructions on setting these up, see our guide on adding a pre or post course notification here.


👩🏻‍💻 Email your customers directly

You can also email your attendees outside of your account using your own email tool. To gather their email addresses, head to Courses Course types, click Manage Course next to the course you want, then click the cogwheel button and select Attendee emails to copy the list.
