Selecting the Region
The region is where the streaming sessions will be physically hosted for this class. Ideally choose a region that is a good match for all of the students to reduce lag and quality issues. It may make sense to have multiple versions of the same class, each in their own region.
The region currently defaults to Europe. Change it here:
