Hello and welcome to our step-by-step guide for creating lessons with any live conferencing tool in your course on Teachfloor.
Let's divide it into two sections:
1. Zoom
We have written an in-depth guide of how to create a lesson with Zoom. Click here to read it.
2. Any Other Live Conferencing Tool
Since Teachfloor provides a dedicated element for Zoom, and users can use it directly if they are using Zoom. However, we understand that it's not always the case. So, we make a new element names "Meeting Link".
Using this element you can use any live conferencing tool, you can use any other live conferencing tool to create a lesson with.
How to add "Meeting Link" element?
When you will come to Curriculum page on the course you want to add a lesson using meeting link element and edit it. You will see a (+) Add Element.
Click on (+) Add Element on the left side of the screen. And click the Meeting Link.
