What is a Live Class?
A Live Class is an interactive, real-time session between you and your students, powered by Fermion’s in-house streaming infrastructure. Unlike traditional third-party integrations, Fermion’s live system is deeply integrated into the LMS, giving you full control over every aspect of the experience: from scheduling and access management to recording, playback, and host controls. You can engage your learners through real-time chat, polls, and speaker interactions, while maintaining complete content security with built-in DRM and analytics tracking.
