Session options
You can configure elements of sessions. This includes basic options for session content and functionality, as well as advanced changes that the JUNO team can make on the back end.
Basic options for every session
You’ll make decisions about content and functionality when you add sessions to your site. You can make these changes yourself using two tools: The content importer and the front-end editor.
These options affect sessions individually. For example, every session can have a different capacity.

An example session. See the tables below for details.

More options controlled from the back end
The JUNO team can help you change more elements of live sessions.
Unless specified, these options affect all sessions on your site. For example, if you choose to remove the timer, it's removed from every session.
