Under Room Visibility, if you want to make this session available to everyone in your class, you will need to select the Public option. If you would like the session to be restricted to a list of people, select the first option (Restricted Room).

Please note that when setting the availability of the session, once you create the session, you will not be able to change the start and end date and time. If you need to change those, you will need to recreate the room.

If you have selected the Restricted Room option, you will have the opportunity to add your guests in the list of attendees.
