# How to Create a Live Lesson with Zoom Integration

This guide shows you how to integrate Zoom into your LDT lessons with just a few simple steps. You can create live classes, meetings, or webinars directly within your course, boosting interaction and providing a dynamic, live learning experience for your students.

### Step 1: Access Your Course and Create a New Lesson

From your LDT admin dashboard, navigate to the **Courses section**.

Select the course you want to add a lesson to. If you don't have one, create a new course first.

In the course interface, you'll see your modules. Choose an existing module or click "Add new module / section" to create a new one.

### Step 2: Fill in Basic Lesson Information

In the Lesson information section, enter a Lesson title and a Short description if desired.

Important Options:

* Check the box for "Require student to complete before next" if you want to make this lesson mandatory. This ensures students must complete it (e.g., download the file or mark it as complete) before proceeding to the next lesson, maintaining the course flow.
* DO NOT check the box for "This isn’t a lesson" unless the content is a notification or an introductory page without any required completion.

### Step 3: Link to Your Zoom Room

Click the "**Content type**" dropdown menu and select "ZOOM."

The system will then display a form for you to fill in the details of your live session:

* **Content title**: Give your session a name
* **Type**: Choose the session type: "Meeting" or "Webinar."
* **Button label**: Enter the text you want to appear on the button that students will click to join the session

Note: You must create the meeting or webinar in the Zoom application or website first and then copy the information to LDT.

#### &#x20;**Configure Visibility and Save:**

In the Access & visibility section, choose the status for this lesson. Pay special attention to:

* Published: Students will be able to see and join the session.
* Draft: Only you can see the lesson for editing.
* Schedule/Drip: This is very useful for scheduling. You can set the lesson (with the Zoom link) to become visible to students only at the exact time the session is scheduled.

Once you are finished, click the Save button to finalize your lesson.
