In the “Class Video Settings” section you can find your video hosting options for this class.

Now, you can use either a recorded video you’ve made or a live video. 

For Beginners:

Our recommendation: Create a class with Loom

If you are an absolute beginner and looking to create a recorded class with screen sharing. We recommend you’d use Loom to record it! Loom is a free online tool that helps you do screencasts (screen sharing) and explainer videos – perfect for an online class.

You can see here more about how Loom works.

First, download their desktop app to use some basic tools for screen sharing and video sharing.

Then, install Loom on your computer or iPhone.

After installation, you’ll find an icon of Loom in your top right corner (for Mac) or the bottom right corner (for Windows). Click on one of the buttons to signup to Loom through either Gmail, Slack or email account.

Then, continue to their registration process to start recording videos.

Once you’re done, use Loom to capture your web camera or screen sharing or both.

Once you’re done recording the video, your default web browser will open with a link to your recorded video.

Now, if you’ll sign-in on the website you’ll be able to edit and trim the video and add other settings.

When you are done, copy the link on the right – and paste it in the “Main Video” of the “Class Video Settings”.

You can also add trailer video (using the same method) where you show a preview of what you are going to teach etc.

That’s it! You’ve made a Weshare class and you are all set to start teaching online!

Once you’re done submitting your class, press the “View” button to see how your class will look like for your visitors and subscribers.

For Advanced and Experienced Content Creators:

Create a class with Youtube (using OBS)

If you’re looking to create a recorded class that involved you and screen sharing in a better production – we recommend you’d use a free software called OBS to record your class. Then upload your class to Youtube (on unlisted mode), then post your video link to Weshare.

You can download OBS for free here.

Once you’ve downloaded OBS use this guide to create your own home recording studio for teaching live or recorded classes and tutorials.

Oh and by the way, if you don’t have photoshop, use Canva (for free) instead for all of your graphic design needs. 

Once you’ve done making your video on OBS, either connect it to Youtube Live or upload your recorded video to your Youtube channel.

Then, copy your youtube link (either live or recorded) and paste it in your “Main Video” of the “Class Video Settings” (on Weshare class creation page).

Congratulations! You’ve made a Weshare class and you are all set to start teaching online!
