Facebook Classes set to support the delivery of online nail education
By Kat Hill | 11 February 2021 | News, Products & Treatments
Social media platform, Facebook, is set to offer a new function which allows users to create and host interactive and live classes on its platform.
Ideal for nail educators and brands, the Facebook Classes tool can be used to host paid workshops and training via the app or website.
The feature is being rolled out across the platform, so not all users may currently have all the features of the new function yet.
Users can create and host online events that can be labelled as a ‘class’, meaning educational content will be clearly classified and easier to find.
The class can be linked to a Facebook Live or an external video conferencing service via an external link. It can also be hosted via a Messenger Room, which has the option to set a maximum capacity for students attending.
If you are eligible for paid online events (click here to learn more), the new tool is also set to allow for paid admission to classes, meaning the host can charge for an event and accept payment via Facebook Pay.
The feature allows the user to toggle privacy, meaning a class can be invitational or public, or shared via your friend list or to members of a Facebook Group. The tool also allows users to easily submit feedback on the class.
As with the platform’s current options for events, branding for the class can be customised for promotion with a cover photo. A description and the class’ requirements can be added, too.
