# Go live in a Course
> Add a live video session to Courses to engage with customers.
Engage with your course customers with regularly scheduled live sessions. With **Course Live Video**, you can design your course with a live session to recap the lessons they have learned and develop a course that includes weekly workshops.
With Live Video in a Course, you can create a product that serves your customers, strengthens your curriculum, and reinforces the value you have to offer.
### Customer experience
Creating a live session in your course will display the course live video section at the top of your course outline.
Your customers can view your live session by opening the Categories tab within their course.

### Edit live video session details
Update your live video session title, description, and schedule:
### Get session link
Copy and share your session link and share with your course customers. With your session link, you can create email campaigns for your course customers leading up to your session and include your session link to help your customers join your live session:
### Disable live session
Want to disable and shut down your course live video? Open more details in your live session and select **Disable live**. This will open your Course Settings. Simply toggle off **Provide a live video session for this course** to disable it.
## Using a third-party video platform
If you would like to use a third-party platform to meet live instead of the Go Live feature, you will need to disable it for your course. Then, create a lesson where you add your meeting link in the lesson description box. After that, you can send a Product Announcement to your students who have access to that course, informing them about the lesson and providing the meeting link.
## FAQs
### What happened to the Premium Video setting?
**Premium Video** was a checkbox in your Course settings that switched your live sessions over to Kajabi's own live video system. Every course live session now runs on that system, so the checkbox has been removed and there is nothing to turn on.
### Does anything change for existing live sessions?
Your session title, description, schedule, and recording settings stay as they are, and recordings you have already saved remain available. If your course was not already using Premium Video, your live sessions move to Kajabi's own live video system, so some of the in-session controls look different from what you used before.
