How to Access Live Class Options and Session History

Find a live session from its recording, and read what happened during it — participants, chat and polls, once the class has ended.


Live classes are content, but each one also carries its own live session record — a page tracking who showed up, what was said, and what happened after it ended. This guide covers finding that record from both directions.


From the Module Content List

Once a live class ends, its recording appears in the module's content list as a normal video row. If that video came from a live session, an extra Live button appears alongside Edit, Delete and Details.

The Live button is the bridge between a recording and its session. Click it and you go straight to that session's participant list, chat log and poll results — not just the video. This only appears on videos that originated from an actual live class; a video uploaded directly has no session to link to.


The Live Session Page

Clicking Live — or View from a Live Sessions list — opens the session's own page.

The header shows the session title, curriculum path (নবম-দশম রসায়ন • Videos), and a status badge — Ended once it is over. Back returns to where you came from, and Configure opens the session's settings.

While a session is still running, this page is the control room for the live stream itself.

Once a session has ended, it shows Session EndedThis live session has ended. View the session history below — with an Archived marker, and the page becomes a permanent record: Session History.


Session History

Three tabs, each with a live count in its badge:

Tab What it shows
Participants Everyone who joined, with name, avatar and the exact time they joined
Chat Every message sent during the session
Polls Any in-session polls, with results and the time each closed

In the example above: 17 participants, 423 chat messages, 0 polls. Each participant row shows Joined: [date, time] — useful for checking who was actually present versus who the attendance marker recorded, if Count Attendance was enabled when the class was scheduled.

This history is permanent, not a live view. It does not update after the session ends — it is the record of what happened, kept for as long as the session exists. Use it to settle a dispute about who attended, or to review what was asked in chat.


Why This Matters

  • Attendance verification — cross-check the automatic attendance marking against the actual join list.
  • Reviewing engagement — a session with 17 participants and 423 chat messages was clearly interactive; one with a handful of one-word messages was not.
  • Following up on questions — chat often contains questions a teacher did not get to live. The log lets you answer them afterward.

Troubleshooting

What you see What it means
No Live button on a video row That video was not generated from a live session — it was uploaded directly
The session page still looks live after the class ended Status has not updated yet, or the session was never explicitly ended. Check Configure
Participants count looks low It counts people who actually joined, which can differ from your enrolled student count
Polls shows 0 No polls were run during that session — not an error
Chat is empty Either nobody used it, or the session predates chat logging
