“I only teach live — do I have to record videos?”
No. You can run your live classes exactly as you do now and let the course wrap around them. A recorded video library is optional, not a requirement.

Plenty of teachers freeze here: 'I'm a live teacher, I don't have a studio, I'm not making polished videos.' You don't need to. A course can be built almost entirely from live classes — the recordings then build themselves as you go.
How it works in practice
- Schedule a live class and paste your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams link — we detect the provider for you. There's nothing new to learn.
- Add a 'live' lesson in the course so students get a join button at class time.
- After the class, attach the recording. It becomes a 'recording' lesson students can rewatch — so absentees catch up without a separate upload.
Example
A music teacher runs two live sessions a week on Google Meet. He adds each as a live lesson; after each class he attaches the recording. Over a month the course quietly fills with eight recorded lessons — he never sat down to 'make videos', yet students who missed a class always have one to watch.
Mix and match: some teachers run everything live, others add a couple of short recorded intros. Start with what you already do every week.
