Can a coach give lessons to non-paying chess.com members w/ chess.com board?

Just wondering, because I didn't see this addressed anywhere - I might have overlooked it.

I think the student has to be in "Full Screen" mode to view the analysis board, but I wasn't sure if that mode was still only available to diamond members, or other paying members.

Anyone know the answer to this?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure you can invite any member into an analysis board. The requirement is to be premium to present it.

From the following: https://support.chess.com/customer/portal/articles/1444912-how-do-i-use-the-live-analysis-board-

"Although users of the simple version of Live can observe an analysis board, the advanced Live Chess platform is required to create a new analysis board session or to accept control of someone else's board.  Please note that creating & controlling Analysis Boards is a premium feature reserved for Platinum and Diamond members."

Hmm, ok. But even with other students of mine who had memberships, I wasn't able to invite them when they were in the simple version of live chess - they had to be in the full version

Then it probably requires the full version but as far as I know the full version doesn't require a premium membership.

Oh, ok, I think it used to, which must have been what confused me

That's possible, not sure. It still might but I don't think it does.
