Setting up Live or On-Demand Web Content Component

This feature allows admins to add live webinar components (including but not limited to Zoom & Go To Webinar), on-demand webinar components, Youtube or Vimeo embed links, and .mp4 video files as archives. As this is the most used Component, it's the default component after "Create a New Component" is selected.




  1. From the Components tab of the Product, click "Create New Component" and select "Web Content"  Keep in mind the title will be used on the Product page and should be something learners will recognize.  For example, for a live webinar, you may consider using “Live Online Presentation”.  The description will also be visible on the Product page.  For example, if the title was “Live Online Presentation” your description may be “60 Minutes”.
