Learn how to create, configure, and schedule live classes in Fermion. This guide walks you through setting up a live session and configuring session details and publishing your live class.
Before getting started, make sure of the following things:
Have a good internet connection before you stream so that the stream doesn’t buffer or lag, these issues are usually caused by poor network connections.
Make sure that your browser and graphic drivers are up-to date, to avoid any issues that arise with outdated versions.
Keep a good webcam and a good microphone to ensure that you’re able to stream smoothly to your learners.

You can schedule your live classes in two ways: singularly or in bulk using our Event Calendar.
Live class Scheduling: If you want to schedule a one-off session, you can set the date and time directly in the Event Calendar to create your live class. Learn more about this feature in Schedule a live class in Event Calendar
Bulk scheduling: For multiple sessions at once, you can use the Event Calendar to plan your entire course’s live sessions ahead of time. This is especially helpful if you want to maintain a consistent weekly or monthly schedule. Learn more about Bulk Schedule live classes via CSV
