## How students join a Live Session

Students join a Live Session via the **Live Session page** inside the Course. They can open this page by clicking on the **Title** of the Live Session in the Course outline.

If you're hosting your session with **Kajabi Live Video**, students simply click the **Join session** button to join a Live Session you've started:

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/kajabi-support/S8nlLzrncBrtrrnT/images/CohortSessions.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=S8nlLzrncBrtrrnT&q=85&s=731ea14a7243a1966fef2dd280b495b1" alt="Cohort Sessions" width="1300" height="587" data-path="images/CohortSessions.png" />

If using a custom session location instead of Kajabi Live Video, students see the **Location URL** or **Description** entered in the Live Session **Settings** instead of a "Join" button.
