Variations and important distinctions
Live online with your own tool
Create the meeting yourself, for example in Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Put its link, code and password in participation notes, not the public description. For a paid session, participants receive these through booking documents and the valid ticket after successful payment and confirmed course booking. Buying a punch card or subscription alone is not enough. You manage the tool account, meeting and any tool fees.
Approval and booking are separate
Approval grants access to the booking option. A place is secured only by the subsequent purchase and confirmed booking of an available session.
