What Are Live Course Sessions in GHL?
Live Course Sessions inside GoHighLevel are built-in live training events that sit directly inside your course structure.
They are not separate webinar tools.
Automate marketing, manage leads, and grow faster with GoHighLevel.

They are not external calendar links.
They are fully integrated into your course experience.
That’s the difference.
Before this update, most course creators had to use third-party tools for live teaching. You would host the session somewhere else. Then you would paste the replay link back into your course.
Now it all lives in one place.
Inside the Course Builder in GHL, you can create a Live Course Session directly in your course outline. It appears as its own section. Each session shows up as a card with preview details like date and time.
Your learners can see upcoming sessions clearly.
They know what’s coming.
They get notified.
And they join without confusion.
You can create:
- One-time live classes
- Recurring weekly coaching calls
- Daily accountability sessions
- Full cohort-style training programs
Everything is timezone-aware. That means your students see the correct time based on where they live.
After the session ends, the recording is available inside the platform. You can download it or add it as a lesson in your course.
That means every Live Course Session can become long-term value.
Live first.
Evergreen after.
That’s a powerful combo inside GoHighLevel.
What’s New With Live Course Sessions
Live Course Sessions are not just a small tweak inside GoHighLevel.
This is a full workflow upgrade.
Here’s exactly what’s new — and why it matters.
Flexible Session Scheduling
You can now schedule:
- One-time sessions
- Recurring sessions
- Daily, weekly, or custom patterns
That means you can run a single masterclass or a 12-week coaching program without rebuilding sessions every time.
Even better, everything is timezone-aware.
Your students see the correct session time based on their location. No more “Wait… what time is this in my country?” messages.
That alone reduces support headaches.
Built Directly Into the Course Outline
Live Course Sessions now sit inside your Course Builder.
Each session appears as a clear card with:
- Date
- Time
- Preview details
Students can browse upcoming sessions easily. They don’t need to search their email for a Zoom link.
It’s clean.
It’s organized.
It feels professional.
Better Management and Control
Plans change. Life happens.
Now you can:
- Edit a session anytime
- Cancel a session
- Update just one occurrence
- Update all future recurring sessions
This is huge for recurring programs.
You can adjust one date without breaking the entire schedule.
Smarter Go Live and Notifications
The Go Live button becomes available 15 minutes before the session starts.
You can begin when you’re ready.
Admins receive reminder emails. Learners get session notifications and updates.
You stay in control of communication.
Built-In Recordings for Evergreen Use
After the session ends, recordings are available inside GHL.
You can:
- Download the recording
- Add it as a lesson
- Repurpose it for future students
That means every Live Course Session becomes long-term content.
Live today.
Evergreen tomorrow.
That’s leverage.
Why Live Course Sessions Matter for Your Business
Live Course Sessions are not just about teaching live.
They are about engagement.
And engagement drives revenue.
When students show up live, they pay attention. They ask questions. They stay longer. That builds trust faster than pre-recorded lessons alone.
Inside GoHighLevel, Live Course Sessions give you a way to create real connection without leaving your course platform.
That’s powerful.
Better Engagement = Better Results
Live sessions create urgency.
If a student misses it, they feel it.
That pushes attendance. It also increases course completion rates.
When people engage live, they are more likely to:
- Finish the program
- Buy your next offer
- Refer others
That is retention working in your favor.
Recurring Sessions Reduce Churn
If you run memberships, this feature is huge.
Weekly coaching calls. Monthly workshops. Q&A sessions.
Recurring Live Course Sessions give members a reason to stay subscribed.
You are not just selling content.
You are selling access.
And access keeps people paying.
Monetization Gets Easier
With Live Course Sessions inside GHL, you can sell:
- Cohort-based programs
- Group coaching
- Masterclasses
- Paid workshops
- Client onboarding sessions
You can even run a live launch, then convert the recording into a product.

Multiple revenue streams.
Agencies Get a Competitive Edge
If you build systems for clients, this feature gives you leverage.
You can:
- Host onboarding calls inside a client portal

Pro Tips to Maximize Live Course Sessions
Live Course Sessions are powerful on their own.
But if you use them strategically inside GoHighLevel, they become a serious growth tool.
Here’s how to get the most out of them.
1. Run Cohort-Based Programs
Instead of selling only evergreen courses, run 4-week or 8-week live cohorts.
Use recurring Live Course Sessions for:
- Weekly training calls
- Group accountability
- Live Q&A sessions
This increases urgency and boosts completion rates.
People show up when something is happening live.
2. Combine Live + Evergreen
After each Live Course Session:
- Download the recording
- Add it as a Lesson
- Organize it into a replay section
Now you have:
Live engagement today.
Evergreen product tomorrow.
This hybrid model works extremely well for coaching programs.
3. Automate Reminder Workflows
Even though GHL sends session reminders, you can go further.
Create a Workflow that:
- Tags registered learners
- Sends SMS reminders 1 hour before
- Sends follow-up emails after the session
- Triggers replay links automatically
Now your Live Course Sessions connect directly to your Marketing Automation.
That’s leverage.
4. Use Sessions for Client Onboarding
Agencies can use Live Course Sessions inside client portals.
Instead of sending Zoom links, you can:
- Host onboarding calls
- Deliver monthly strategy sessions
- Provide live marketing training
Everything stays inside GoHighLevel.
That keeps your brand clean and professional.
5. Avoid These Common Mistakes
- Not checking timezone settings
- Forgetting to test the Go Live button
- Not repurposing recordings
- Running live sessions without follow-up automation
Small oversights can reduce engagement.
Be intentional.
6. Turn Attendance Into Data
Use tags and automation triggers to:
- Track who attended
- Identify no-shows
- Send special offers to engaged students
Your Live Course Sessions should feed your CRM.
Not sit isolated.
