Sessions

See every session of a webinar, what state it's in and how to cancel one.

Updated View as Markdown

A session is one showing of your webinar at a particular time. The Sessions tab lists them all with who booked and who came, and it’s where you cancel one that’s coming up.

Open it from Webinars → your webinar → Sessions. The list starts with the latest date, 25 to a page, with times in your browser’s time zone.

Where sessions come from

You don’t create sessions here. They come from your schedule:

  • Specific dates create their sessions when you save the schedule.
  • Recurring, just-in-time and instant times only become sessions when someone books one.

So an empty list doesn’t mean there are no times on offer. It reads No sessions yet until someone books. To see the times being offered, look at your registration page or Coming up in the room.

What the columns mean

Column What it shows
Starts The start time. A pulsing dot marks a session that’s live now.
Status Upcoming, Live now, Ended or Canceled
Schedule What created it: Specific date, Recurring, Just-in-time, Instant watch or Manual
Registrants People currently booked. It goes down when someone moves to another time.
Showed up How many different people attended this session live
The last column Cancel, for upcoming sessions only

Manual means the session isn’t tied to a schedule rule, as with a challenge day or a session whose rule you’ve since deleted.

Someone who watched live and on the replay counts once under Showed up, and someone who only watched the replay isn’t counted. This column may not add up exactly to Showed up on the Overview report, because the report groups people by when they registered, and this tab by the session they attended.

Session states

Status Meaning
Upcoming The start time hasn’t arrived. Attendees see the waiting room if they open their link.
Live now Between the start time and the end of the video. Attendees join at the current point.
Ended The video’s length has passed. Attendees get the replay if it’s on.
Canceled You canceled it. The room shows a notice instead.

Cancel a session
