Students downloading sessions

There are two ways students can download your sessions.

If you don’t want your students to be able to download your sessions, you will need to switch off the podcast feed for the folder you have just provisioned

However, if you want to give your students the ability to download the session when they’re viewing it, you can switch that feature on by following these steps.
