This date can still be changed later. After creating the lesson, you will find various options for configuring your live meeting in addition to the usual content field and materials: **Live Session** **![Live session Link](https://support.reteach.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-28%20at%2011-24-12-png.png?width=688&height=251&name=Screenshot%202024-08-28%20at%2011-24-12-png.png)** Through the Live Session field, you can select which connected Microsoft Teams account or Zoom account the meeting will be conducted with. Alternatively, you can configure a meeting link from any other meeting platform, such as BigBlueButton, GoToWebinar, and many more, using the "Custom URL" option.

The videos can either be uploaded directly to reteach or embedded via URLs from YouTube or Vimeo.   **Attendance List** **![Attendance](https://support.reteach.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-28%20at%2011-27-29-png.png?width=688&height=215&name=Screenshot%202024-08-28%20at%2011-27-29-png.png)** Maintain an attendance list of which participants actually attended the meeting. If it is a mandatory lesson, participants can only continue with the course once their attendance has been confirmed here.   Once you have configured these fields and your course is set to public or private, your live session can start at the specified time as soon as you, as the host, enter the meeting room. - [Courses](https://support.reteach.com/en/courses?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Categories](https://support.reteach.com/en/courses?hsLang=en#categories) - [Create and manage courses](https://support.reteach.com/en/courses?hsLang=en#create-and-manage-courses) - [Lessons](https://support.reteach.com/en/courses?hsLang=en#lessons) - [Course Catalog](https://support.reteach.com/en/courses?hsLang=en#course-catalog) - [Certificates](https://support.reteach.com/en/courses?hsLang=en#certificates) - [Live trainings and sessions](https://support.reteach.com/en/courses?hsLang=en#live-trainings-and-sessions) - [Participants](https://support.reteach.com/en/participants?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Filters and Tags](https://support.reteach.com/en/participants?hsLang=en#filters-and-tags) - [Mailings](https://support.reteach.com/en/participants?hsLang=en#mailings) - [Help for your participants](https://support.reteach.com/en/participants?hsLang=en#help-for-your-participants) - [Export participant data](https://support.reteach.com/en/participants?hsLang=en#export-participant-data) - [Managing participants](https://support.reteach.com/en/participants?hsLang=en#managing-participants) - [Learning Progress & Analytics](https://support.reteach.com/en/learning-progress-analytics?hsLang=en) - [E-Commerce](https://support.reteach.com/en/e-commerce?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sell courses](https://support.reteach.com/en/e-commerce?hsLang=en#sell-courses) - [Stripe](https://support.reteach.com/en/e-commerce?hsLang=en#stripe) - [Orders](https://support.reteach.com/en/e-commerce?hsLang=en#orders) - [Account & Admin](https://support.reteach.com/en/account-admin?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Tariff](https://support.reteach.com/en/account-admin?hsLang=en#tariff) - [Administrators](https://support.reteach.com/en/account-admin?hsLang=en#administrators) - [Legal & Data Protection](https://support.reteach.com/en/account-admin?hsLang=en#legal-data-protection) - [Settings](https://support.reteach.com/en/settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Personalisation of your academy](https://support.reteach.com/en/settings?hsLang=en#personalisation-of-your-academy) - [Zoom & MS Teams Integrations](https://support.reteach.com/en/settings?hsLang=en#zoom-ms-teams-integrations) - [Useful information](https://support.reteach.com/en/settings?hsLang=en#useful-information) - [Automatisations](https://support.reteach.com/en/settings?hsLang=en#automatisations) - [Translation Tips](https://support.reteach.com/en/translation-tips?hsLang=en) [![reteach Die Lernplattform für den Mittelstand](https://support.reteach.com/hubfs/logo.svg "reteach Die Lernplattform für den Mittelstand")](https://www.reteach.com/) Haben Sie noch Fragen?
