EscaleLMS Update: Host Live Classes Directly from Your Online Academy

At Empirical Studio, we have spent months building one of the most requested features from EscaleLMS creators. Today we can say it is ready: live classes are now part of the platform.

The Problem We Wanted to Solve

Until now, if a teacher wanted to combine their online academy with live sessions, they had to juggle multiple tools: Zoom for the video call, Google Calendar to manage scheduling, email or WhatsApp for invitations, and EscaleLMS for the course content. Too many pieces to coordinate manually.

That creates friction for the teacher, confusion for the student, and in many cases, classes that simply never happen because the logistics drain all the energy. We wanted organizing a live class to be as easy as uploading a video or creating a quiz — everything in one place.

What the Update Includes

Integrated Video Calls with Screen Sharing

EscaleLMS live classes use video conferencing technology integrated directly into the platform — no installations, no external accounts needed. The teacher starts the session from their course panel and students join with a single click. During the session, any participant can share their screen, perfect for presentations, software demos, exercise reviews, or any visual content.

Invitation Management for Students and External Guests

Not every class is limited to enrolled students. The platform now allows inviting external participants via a unique token link. The teacher controls who has access and can revoke invitations at any time. For students already enrolled in the course, invitations are managed directly from the panel without sending emails manually.

Event Types: Class, Workshop, Talk, or Seminar

Not all live sessions are the same. EscaleLMS now lets you distinguish between four event types, each with its own color code and label visible to students:

• Class — standard training sessions
• Workshop — hands-on practice and guided exercises
• Talk — presentations or more informal content
• Seminar — academic or in-depth sessions

This distinction helps students prepare better and allows teachers to organize their calendar more clearly.

RSVP and Attendance Confirmation

Students can confirm their attendance for each session. The teacher sees in real time how many seats are taken and can schedule automatic reminders for those who have confirmed.

Capacity Control

Each session can have a participant limit. When capacity is reached, the platform reflects it visually. Management is fully automatic.
