Connect multiple Zoom accounts for activities in the Virtual Stage
To give you more freedom with how you organize Zoom activities on the Virtual Stage, it is now possible to configure activities with a different Zoom account that is not linked to the organizer for each transmission. This is in addition to the account that you already have connected by default in integrations.
Pick and choose the events that you want added to the calendar widget
It is now possible to select the events that you want to be shown on the event calendar widget. To do this you just need to pick the events you want to be shown in the back office under event settings. Finally, keep in mind that modifying an event that has already been created takes 30-minutes to be shown on the widget.
Better visibility of registered activities inside the Virtual Stage
To give attendees a clear overview of their agendas and the activities that they are or aren’t registered to, we have improved the visibility of the agenda and activities in which they are participating.
For activities that participants have registered
for, the primary color of the Virtual Stage will appear and depending on their
duration (if the blocks are very small or large), only the registration icon
will appear together with the session’s text. Here are some screenshots below
which show how this looks:
Participant rated view
A filter for rated event participants based on the B2B matchmaking algorithm has been developed.
Rejection and appraisal of new meetings
In the case that a one-to-one meeting is rejected a new appointment slot can be requested at a later time.
General platform fixes
Mitigating bugs and managing continuous improvements is necessary to ensure the best experience for event organisers and their participants. Some of the fixes we made include:
- The location now appears in workshop details when clicking on an activity in the program.
- The view of inactive events pages has been adjusted for when the virtual stage is not configured from the back office.
- Custom registration fields can now be displayed under attendee profiles in the virtual stage.
Zoom Integration
In order to make it easier to create activities that require the use of Zoom, we have made an enhancement that will allow organizers to better manage their Zoom accounts.
In order to create your meetings and webinars through Zoom, it is necessary to do so using JWT credentials. However, we understand that this can generate limitations since not all users have access to these.
This improvement now allows an account user to enter the credentials and this integration will be available to all account users, which means that you will not have to enter this data in each activity.
The first thing to do is go to the "Users" menu located in the upper right part of the screen.
Once here, you will find the "Account Integrations" tab and then click on the Zoom icon.
Finally, you must enter the JWT credentials of the Zoom account that you want to associate.
Now you can create activities only by selecting the associated account, which will facilitate the task of event organizers.
Sponsors Module: Registration for Activities
Sponsors want to keep track of the participants attending their activities. This can allow them to better prepare their presentation prior to the day of the event, in a way they can generate better engagement.
This is why we enabled a new feature which will let them set up a registration for their activities, as well as setting up a limit for the number of participants they want to host.
For this, they must go to their Sponsors Editor, create an activity, and at the bottom of the menu they will be able to activate or deactivate the registration feature. This way, participants will be able to register to these activities through the Virtual Stage.
Networking Meetings: : Improvements and Updates for One-on-One Meetings
We want your participants' experience to always be the best, which is why in order for them to make sure that all the elements for their appointments are working well, we have added validation for their one-to-one meetings.
For appointments to take place with no issues, participants need to grant camera and microphone permissionions.
Additionally, participants can set the background with the images provided by Twilio.
The meeting platform will allow you to have up to 9 participants in a call.
With these new updates, you will be able to improve your connectivity experience and speed.
Users: Permission to Activate/Deactivate Events
We understand that some organizations have quite a few users on their accounts. Such users have different roles and task for which they are responsible.
In order to better limit the roles and assignments the users on your account have, we added a new permission that allows admin users to limit who can activate or deactivate events.
To set up this permission, the admin user must go to the "Users" tab and look for the user whom you want to change permissions. Once you find said user, click on the three dots and click on "Edit", this will display the "Module Permissions" tab. Please click on it and in the dropdown menu select "Events". Finally, you will select or unselect the "Activate and deactivate" depending on your needs.
