Many clients need to integrate with external platforms. They might have a website or some sort of client login system. It's actually our most common customization we do 🙂
Anyone can ask a question in chat that a moderator can "convert" from chat to a question. There are settings to define if people can directly-post questions and if a moderator has to approve those or not.
What we do right now is live stream our Zoom sessions to YouTube Live. We then embed the YouTube Live link in our Live Topics here. You can use any video system but we currently only support YouTube for the automatic syncing timestamp in video.
Hopefully the new GraphQL system and future JS option will make the need for PHP unnecessary 🙂
We are trying to get to the point where "writing a PHP script" will not be necessary even if you want to extend the system to do all sorts of custom stuff.
That was the part I was like "ok this isn't very good" 😀
I embedded that "media" it in a page to get the path. Promise we will address that in next release!
Feel free to PM me if you ever want to do a Zoom to chat about how the platform works. It may not be a good choice for you but I am always open to sharing ideas.
So... ok...
I was like "oh I have a solution!" but Pages Media is apparently a bit clunky. I'm putting in a to do to improve it 🙂
But, yes, you can upload media like that and it just creates a non-attached upload.
Can you use the Pages media option? It allows you to upload files not attached to a content item.
