How to add a comment section to your course

Adding a comment section to your course lectures is one of the best ways to increase engagement and create a community feeling among your students. On systeme.io you can enable comments on any lecture in just a few clicks.

Students will be able to ask questions, share insights, post media and interact with each other directly under the lesson content.

Here is a complete and detailed guide.

1. Open the course and select the lecture

Log in to your systeme.io account.

Go to Assets → Courses and open the course you want to edit.

You will see the list of all modules and lectures. Find the specific lecture where you want to add the comment section.

Important: The comment feature is only available inside lectures. You cannot add it to blog pages or sales funnel steps.

2. Open the lecture settings

Next to the lecture name, click the three dots (...) and select Settings.

A popup window will appear with several options for that lecture.

3. Enable comments and save

In the popup, check the box labeled Enable comments.

Click Save.

That’s it! The comment section is now active for that lecture.

When students open the lecture, they will see the comments area at the bottom of the page, right after the lesson content.

What students can do in the comment section

Once enabled, students have many options to interact:

• Write text comments
• Upload an image or video from their device
• Paste a direct video link from YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Vimeo, Wistia or Loom
• Add a GIF
• Insert a regular link
• Use emojis

Each comment displays the student’s full name and profile picture.

Students can also:

• Like a comment (thumbs up)
• Reply to any comment
• Sort comments (Newest first, Oldest first, or Most popular)
• Edit or delete their own comments

As the course owner, you can delete any comment if needed.

Notifications

If you want to be notified every time a student posts a new comment, go to your account notifications settings and activate the options “Email” or “In-app” under “Notify me about comments on my courses”.

This way you can stay on top of the discussions and reply quickly.

Tips for better engagement

• Enable comments on the most important lectures (especially the first ones and the ones that usually generate questions).
• Reply to the first comments yourself to encourage more participation.
• You can enable comments on as many lectures as you want inside the same course.

Comments work with all access types available on systeme.io (Full access, Drip content, Partial access, etc.). See also How are the different course access types different?.
