Zoom Web SDK Update
The web SDK is what enables Zoom to be displayed on the Eventtia Virtual Stage. Depending on its updates, our clients will be able to access certain features. This new update allows the following:
Activities: Multiple Streaming Channels
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 having streamings in different languages on the same activity, allowing participants to access more easily.
The steps you must follow to enable this feature are:
- Create the activity.
- In the tab "Virtual Stage Configuration" choose the option "Youtube" or "Other".
- In the "Add" button, add the number of streamings you want (Up to 5) and name them to your preference.
Live Event Commander: Unique Connected Attendees
In order to keep better track of whom are the participants who have actually entered your event, we have added an additional indicator to the Event Commander.
You can check this while the event is taking place so you can know what number of participants have entered the Virtual Stage in real-time.
Virtual Stage: Change Navbar Color
Knowing how much our clients want to further customize their Virtual Stages in order to make the experience of the participants as complete as possible, now you can change the color of the navigation bar.
For this you just have to go to the "User Interface" tab in the "Virtual Stage Settings" module and there choose the color that you like the most.
Bug Fixes
For event organizers and their participants to have the best experience, we understand that it is necessary to minimize errors. Some of the bug fixes we made include:
- Show bios of Speakers correctly. Previously when these were too long, they were displayed from the end. From now on the biography will be shown from the beginning and the participant can scroll down to read it completely.
- Show images correctly once they are updated by participants. Previously, they were not shown in the list of participants, but the change was shown in the participant's profile image on the chat.
- Fixed the position of reactions to match the Sponsors reel.
- The size of Speaker images changed when their profiles were opened. We have corrected this error so that the images are displayed correctly.
Virtual Stage: Add Calendar Invites
For your participants can always keep better traceability of their activities and networking meetings, they can now download calendar files (.ICS) directly from their Virtual Stage.
They simply have to select the meeting or activity in their agenda once they login to the Virtual Stage, and there they'll find a button that will allow them to download the file. This way, they can add the activities or meetings that they consider most important in their Gmail or Outlook calendars.
Invoices: Payment Date
In order for you to give more detailed information to your participants on their invoices, we have included the payment date.
This will allow you to know exactly when the participant made their payment, this way being able to keep better traceability of your event.
Workshops: Delete Background Image
Changes can arise at any time, and we know you must be able to tackle them as soon as possible. Now you can delete the background image of your activities in case you need to change the one previously set up.
You just have to go to your Workshop module and select the activity you want to modify. Next to the select image button, you will have the delete button which will allow you to set your Virtual Stage up from scratch.
Virtual Stage: Zoom Upgrades
Understanding our clients' needs and keeping up with the improvements of our collaborators, we have updated the Virtual Stage to integrate the upgrades of Zoom web SDK version 1.8.0.
Functionalities that were previously limited like the breakout rooms are now available within the Virtual Stage. This will allow you to divide your participants into small groups to perform different types of activities without having to access another page.
Virtual Stage: Activities Background Image
Today we have the possibility of setting up a background image per activity, but in many cases, the image is the same and if you have multiple activities, you have to do it in all of them.
With this update, the idea is that you can set up a default background image in all activities, and if you need it you can only change it in the activities you choose.
