About
Once a scheduled session is published to a channel, it appears on the Sessions tab of the channel page.
The Sessions tab allows attendees to browse past and upcoming sessions and access session details and actions.
The placement of the tab is configured in the channel's Settings & layout tab.
View sessions
If a channel contains both past and upcoming sessions, the Sessions tab includes a View all sessions or View upcoming sessions option.
- View all sessions displays all past and upcoming sessions in the channel. Past sessions appear first (at the top), followed by upcoming sessions.
- View upcoming sessions displays only sessions that are currently in progress or scheduled for the future. Sessions in progress appear first, followed by future sessions.
- If a channel contains only past sessions or only upcoming sessions, the View all sessions / View upcoming sessions option isn't displayed.
- The default view is configured by your administrator in the Channelthemingui module.
Session card details
The session card provides key details about the session, including:
- Scheduled time
- Title

- Tags (up to two tags are shown)
- Speaker information (if applicable) - You can click on a speaker's icon to view a pop-up with the speaker's bio, without needing to navigate away from the page. This information is also accessible without logging in.

- 'Watch' - Available when the session (live/simulive) is connected to the video source. This button directs users to the VOD version after the session ends.

- Add to Calendar - Allows you to download the session details as a calendar invite (compatible with Outlook, Google, etc.). Read more here. This button automatically updates to Join Now a set number of minutes before the session starts, allowing users to easily join without refreshing the page.
Depending on your organization’s configuration, the Add to Calendar button may appear as an RSVP button instead (read more here).
The settings are managed by your administrator in the Widgets module.
