Live video session
Maximize your coaching potential by developing an interactive program with Kajabi's Live Video!
Gone are the days of linking your third-party video tools; now, with Kajabi's Live Video, you can meet with your clients face-to-face directly from Kajabi.
It is important to note that Kajabi's Live Video is only available with Course Products, manually scheduled coaching program, and Coaching Products using Kajabi Scheduler. If you have connected Calendly or a custom link to help you schedule your program, you will not be able to Go Live with Kajabi.
To be eligible to use the Built-in Live Video feature, you can set up your Coaching Product or edit an existing Coaching Product with the Kajabi Scheduler or as a manually scheduled program.
Client experience
With the combined power of Course Products and Coaching Products along with Kajabi's Built-in Live Video, your clients can experience a seamless, engaging, interactive program developed to meet their needs and help you deliver value during your video sessions.
The Coaching and Course Products are Product types that Kajabi offers to help you develop a world-class online presence. With Products, your customers can purchase the connected Offer to access your carefully curated program.
Learn about what happens when a customer purchases an Offer.
After your customer has purchased your Offer, they can access their purchased product from their Library.
If you have set up the Coaching Product to schedule manually, you will need to schedule each session manually for each coaching client.
When the date and time of your coaching session arrive, your client can enter their product and click Join Session:
During the live video session, your client will have video settings that they can update to adjust their camera, microphone, sound, video quality, and background effects. Learn more about each setting.
