You can invite students to a course so that they can participate in activities and share content with instructors and each other. Students must accept the invitation to proceed.
Note that for students to be able to respond to interactive activities and in-class quizzes via SMS, they must both have their mobile number entered in their account profile AND be registered for the course section.
Don't see the fields for adding students? Some administrators restrict instructors from enrolling students into their courses. Instructors can SEE the enrolled students but cannot add any. This is often true of institutions that use an LMS/VLE to integrate with EchoVideo. Talk to your administrator if you think you should have this capability but do not.
