Q: Good afternoon,
I have Thrive themes hosted on wordpress at the moment for my LMS.
I have to pay for the hosting for the wordpress myself. My question: Do I have to host this LMS Uboto myself or do you host all my content on your servers? Are there any other add ons that I have to pay for separately or is everything included ? Thank you for your time. Cheers Ian
That is an excellent question. The whole reason we exist is to help you create, teach and sell content using a single platform. So no, you don't have to pay anything extra for hosting; we will host all of your content on the Microsoft Azure server. We don't charge any transaction fee as well.
The only two charges as of now are a Zoom subscription as per your usage (you can use the free version as well) and marketing email credits (pay as you go) from us.
Hope I have answered your queries. Have a great day.
Thanks for your query. We have integrated BlueJeans and Zoom for live classes as of now. We might bring Google meet in the future but won't be able to give any deadlines as of now.
Q: Is it possible to schedule a live class that is made up of 4 meetings, and pick the specific dates for each meeting?
For example, we meet every Wednesday at 6:00 pm but there is a week we SKIP, so we meet 2 Wednesdays in a row, skip one Wednesday, then meet 2 more Wednesdays in a row.
Thanks for a thoughtful question. Unfortunately, that is not available on our platform. You can only conduct daily, weekly, or monthly recurring classes. I would appreciate it if you could share any video meeting platform where this facility is available. We will try to bring this feature as well.
I currently use Amelia wp plugin to do this, but it is more of a scheduling app. Events can be scheduled that way there, and Zoom links for each meeting are created automatically. I would love something that is more like an LMS to allow me to schedule my class sessions that way.
Thanks so much for getting back to us. Let me ask my tech team to have a look at the WP Plugin.
Q: Hello there, its utobo supports multi-currency and/or also VAT based on location.
Because if I am located in the EU and somebody from Cyprus buys my training I will have to add 19% tax, if the person, however, is from Bulgaria its 20% and if the person is from the US its 0%.
It is an interesting question. Thanks for raising it. We don't have country-based tax calculations at the moment. We recommend using the tax system offered by your payment gateway providers, Stripe or PayPal.
We have learned after years of operations that video downloader plugins keep on popping up, and it is very difficult to commit whether some specific application will be able to download the videos or not.
We are trying our best to protect all the videos on our platform but won't be able to guarantee the downloads.

You can integrate multiple Zoom accounts and get students' reports participating in the live class.
We are working on Blockchain-enabled certification for learners at the moment but won't be able to give you an exact timeframe for its availability within the platform.
If your requirement is urgent then we won't be a good fit at this time. If you can wait then we can be a good solution.
Thanks for your question. We don't offer any Zoom or BlueJeans subscriptions from our end; it is just integration. You would have to buy Zoom subscriptions based on your usage.
I totally understand that and this is why we offer a 14-day free trial (no card details required) to our customers. Also, you have 60 days money back guarantee on Appsumo so it's a risk free purchase.
Here is the link to our platform's walkthrough videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZUlmElJDVuFaL03SEceXfQ/playlists
Please feel free to sign-up for a 14-day free trial using the following link: https://cts1.utobo.com/auth/register?type=free-trial
A: Yes, for sure; also, we are about to launch a monthly subscription feature which will allow you to charge monthly subscription fee from your learners.
I run a technical training center in fashion, and we have 7 teachers... I need students' work to be graded and in most cases it has to be done manually, that is, students have to upload some photos of their clothes or fashion drawings or other manual tasks, and teachers have to review and grade them... plus, they have to give some live classes... I really want to know if your app is suitable for our use case, or if it could potentially be a good option in the near future... Thank you!!
Thank you very much for your interest and questions.
1. Unfortunately, we don't have it at the moment. That is definitely in the roadmap, but I can't promise the timeline. 2. You can use your own subdomain and integrate utobo generated e-com website to your website. 3. We have Zapier integration so you can export the data to an email marketing tool. We don't have integrations with any of the products that you have mentioned as of now.
Please feel free to reach out to support@utobo.com in case you have any additional queries.

Q: Is the learner count active users anyone (past and present) that signed up and paid for a course?
Think leaner counts more as a contact in our tool. Whether they have enrolled for a free or paid course, they will be counted as learners if you have uploaded their contacts.
I am a Leadership coach, I am looking for a learning platform where each client has a personlized recipe or combination of topics suited to their needs. Typically derived from an assessment or an initial quiz. Does Utobo individualize learners course topics? Thank you so much for your response.
Thanks for your query. Unfortunately, we don't have adaptive personalized learning at the moment, but that is a great idea, and we will surely try to incorporate it in the future.
Yes, of course, you can bundle courses and stock the licenses for the future. Our course creation has three layers - Name the course as the course bundle, modules as courses, and add content under each course.
If you have any other queries, please feel free to drop us an email at support@utobo.com.
We recommend keeping the course validity for a maximum of 5 years. If it is a paid course and your learners have subscribed to a course with lifetime validity, you won't be able to delete your account till the subscription is canceled. Days of validity are to help creators define their own timeline and pricing for all courses.
Thanks so much for your query. You can create unlimited courses and keep them as drafts if you won't be able to delete the courses if your students' subscription for that course is active. If there is no student whose course is active you can delete the course. We are working on certificates, and it will be launched within a month of time. For now, you can only use Zoom and BlueJeans. We have no plans of including Microsoft teams as of now. Microsoft teams also use BlueJeans by Verizon for video conferencing, I guess.
I am glad you asked about our motivation level. We are launching crowdfunding on republic soon. Each core member of the team has been working since Feb 2018 and is committed to our vision. We are here to run the marathon and take utobo to IPO.
We are continuously developing new features and integrating them with useful tools. Email marketing comes with all the plans.
Hope this is helpful. Please feel free to drop us an email at support@utobo.com if you have any further questions.
Q: Is the number of learners count towards those enrolled in courses or total over the lifetime of the account?
In other words, if someone takes a course online and then doesn't return for future courses, will that person still count as part of the number allowed?
Learners' contacts are calculated based on contacts in the sales --> Manage Learners section irrespective of whether they have enrolled in any course. In near future, you will be able to delete the unenrolled students to keep the monthly limit below an allowed number of contacts.
Please feel free to email us at support@utobo.com in case you have any further questions.
We are working on the certificate module, and it should be done within a month of time. Yes, you can upgrade and downgrade till the deal is active on Appsumo.

So the live class can be enabled by using Zoom?
And live class is enabled for this deal?

Absolutely, we support multiple zoom accounts under one zoom admin account, and it is a key differentiator from other products in the market.
And individual instructor or creator can use their basic zoom account (Not business or enterprise) and integrate it with Utobo?

Hi rahul.sharma011 ,
Yes any individual creator can integrate their zoom account.
