Eventtia first version release notes
Networking: Camera and Audio Test
We want the experience of the participants to be the best always. In order for them to verify that all the elements necessary for your appointments are working correctly, we have added a validation to the networking meetings.
It is important that participants allows access to camera and microphone so that the meetings can go on correctly.
Virtual Stage: Navbar Scroll
We encourage events which offer a lot of modules to their participants. This is a great way to generate engagement and wholesome experiences.
In order for participants to be able to access all these modules as easy as possible, we added the possibility to scroll through them in the navbar.
Invoices: Item Breakdown
We understand that attendees always want to have as much information as possible, especially when it comes to what they are being charged at the event.
That is why we have made improvements on our invoices, to be able to break down each item that is part of the total value that the attendee has paid.
Virtual Stage: Timezones
With virtual events becoming more and more global, we understand that it is necessary for your participants to be able to correctly know when the different activities will occur.
This is why we have made some improvements in the management of time zones within the Virtual Stage that apply to:
-Virtual Stage Time. -Activities' countdown. -If the event is face-to-face, it will display the timezone from the country in which the event will take place.
Now you will also have the opportunity to choose the time format you prefer for your Virtual Stage. You can choose between 12h or 24h format.
For this you must go to the General Settings tab in the edit option of your event and you will be able to see the Time Format field.
Communications: Test Emails
From now on to help you avoid confusion, test emails will come with a label on the front to indicate this. If the platform is configured in English, it will say (Test), if it is in Spanish (Prueba) and if it is in French (Preuve).
Global Dashboard: New Features
We know that it is not enough to be able to track one of your events, but that you also need to know the global results of all your events.
For this reason, now, the Global Dashboard will also allow you to see the number of participants who have entered the Virtual Stage and checked-in in case it is a face-to-face event. The cards now show you which are virtual events and which are face-to-face. You will be able to see the ratio between the number of attendees and the number of events, as well as how to generate custom graphs.
We invite you to give it a go by clicking on the Events tab at the top left part of your screen and choosing the Global Dashboard option.
Welcome Email: QR Code
Every day we are migrating back to face-to-face interactions, and events are not far behind. Many of our clients are already holding hybrid events, where they can host face-to-face and virtual audiences.
So you keep better management of your attendees, now if the event is only in person, the welcome email will include its QR code to be able to check-in. If it is virtual, the welcome email will not include the QR code.
Virtual Stage: Do Not Display Terms and Conditions" Field on My Profile"
We know that participants want to know all the relevant information about other participants within the Virtual Stage in order to interact with them. Knowing whether or not they accepted the terms and conditions in the registration form, is not.
This is why this field will no longer be visible within the profile of your participants within the Virtual Stage.
Virtual Stage: Custom Modules Icons
So that you can further customize your custom modules within the Virtual Stage, we have updated our icon library. You can access them when you create a custom module and in the Icon field, select the one you want.

Virtuality has allowed us to connect our events with participants from all over the world. In order to make your experiences more user-friendly within the Virtual Stage, it is now possible to enable multiple streaming channels on the same activity.

This will allow you to know exactly when the participant made their payment, this way being able to keep better traceability of your event.
Virtual Stage: Chat Channels
Now your participants will be able to send messages on different chat channels for different purposes. This improvement to the chat module will allow participants to use each chat for its specific purpose hence, not disturbing activities by discussing unrelated topics. For example, you can enable a support channel and there all participants can request help.
To enable these channels you just have to go to "Virtual Stage Settings" and once in there go to the "Modules" tab. Finally in the "Chat" option, you can set up the channels as you see fit.
Virtual Stage: Received Chats Retention
