Hello and welcome to another edition of InEvent News. We have exciting things to share with you today. Check out our latest updates:

Video Conferencing Recording Changes

Video calls are one of the most effective ways to stay connected with each other, especially because you can always record the content and use it for multiple purposes. Although, they are best enjoyed when the end-to-end communication is seamless and void of interruptions. Poor internet connectivity alongside other technical issues can lead to a host dropping from the video call, ultimately impacting the entire recording process of a session. In order to avoid such occurrence, InEvent has configured the video conferencing room mode to enable recording regardless of the host’s presence.

The Layout of the recording is dependent on the activity being performed. If only cameras are active, it’ll be a Gallery View type of recording. If you're sharing your screen, PDF or a video, the Focus Mixed type will be used. Note that this layout is not the same as that of the Control Room. In this layout, cameras are positioned on the left corner as a vertical grid.

Speed Networking Layout

InEvent is committed to provide you with the latest video technologies, so you can let go of outdated video conferencing solutions and embrace an all-in-one streaming software. The new Speed Networking layout promotes a more immersive environment to ease the random meetups you can promote in your virtual and hybrid events. The new animations, for example, display various personalities which signify togetherness in networking regardless of occupation and background. This thought-provoking message is reinforced by the sole purpose of events which is to bond and interact. The intent behind this upgrade is to make attendees feel relaxed and motivated to connect with each other.

Enough said…head over to the speed networking to see for yourself and relish the moment.

We have also dedicated time to deploy some fixes:

• Fixed issue that the Email background color wouldn’t save correctly.
• Fixed image distortion on Virtual Backgrounds for Virtual Lobby.
• Fixed Virtual Backgrounds tool that was not disabling the feature when needed.
• Fixed playback token on Audio Transcription Console.
• Fixed issue with the Copy Event when Live Studio was enabled.
• Fixed Form disclaimer widget on Registration Form. It was breaking if you had activities on form option enabled.
• Fixed Form disclaimer widget on Purchase Form.
• Fixed Polls settings buttons on Virtual Lobby.
• Fixed issue on Live Studio that certain speakers couldn’t hear their co-hosts in certain situations.
• Fixed Firebase Websocket chat quick connection with new splash loading for Virtual Lobby;

Here are some cool additions to the platform:

• Added filter for Pending Submissions on Event Booking.
• Added toll-free number for Dial-in option.
• Added option to download your own certificate directly on My Account;
• Added Salesforce duplication rule check in case it triggers while creating a new Lead or Contact.
• Added option to open links on a new page when using Markdown for Headings. To use it, add {target=_blank} at the end of the Markdown link entry.
• Now using native HLS library for static background videos on Virtual Lobby to reduce CPU usage.
• Added automatic layout restore on Live Studio if the host has to refresh their page.
• Added speakers stage status restore on Live Studio if the host has to refresh their page. Previously, all speakers were sent backstage once the host returned to the live stream.

That is all for today! I hope you keep achieving your goals for events and webinars this year and count on us to keep helping you to broadcast the best streaming content!

Happy New Year and welcome to InEvent News!

This feature allows you to import your own spreadsheet containing contacts information, from your CRM for example, to the InEvent platform. You can as well download the demo file on the platform and manually input your attendees, sponsors, speakers, or tags into the spreadsheet and upload it to the platform.

The same goes for the spreadsheets extracted from your CRM, you can make your work life easier with a few clicks. This feature is a must-have for your workplace and event management.

Additional Cameras and Bluetooth Support for Live Studio

The moment you join the session, a device configuration window will pop up for you to add multiple cameras and connect to various audio streams via Bluetooth. 

Once you join the session, you can alternate the cameras to show your attendees the activities happening in various angles. The Bluetooth support feature allows the pleasure of connecting to multiple audio devices in case one gets faulty. The best part is that the platform automatically selects the device with the best audio quality, even though it’s connected midway into the session! Make sure you troubleshoot your devices prior to the event. This feature is a part of our Live Studio and it is only available on the advanced and full plans.

Welcome to InEvent News! Today, we would like to introduce you to a new release that will open a lot of possibilities for your company! Come check it out.

We truly believe that the future of communication will be video-based. In fact, it already is. The adoption of video is growing rapidly with more companies digitizing their workplace and implementing video-first solutions to their daily activities. 

Our clients are going beyond with their subscription and applying our virtual events technology to their team meetings, client-facing meetings, and boot camp training, just to name a few. The corporate events are becoming more sophisticated as users are getting accustomed to virtual platforms and the demand for premium solutions is increasing. For that, we have also gone beyond and released our own Live Studio. 

The InEvent Live Studio is a professional studio with state-of-the-art technology that enables you to recreate a TV-like experience for the most demanding and sophisticated streams you need to broadcast. You can now add animations, lower third texts, subtitle presets, chyrons, and custom backgrounds with the Live Studio. 

This feature was created to enable you to go beyond the traditional video tools out there and make sure your team does not get fatigued with the daily series of video calls that comes with the remote work package. The Live Studio will also raise the production value of your corporate events, allowing you to justify ticket prices, sponsor’s ROI, and really impress your leads and clients!

I also want to let you know that we have  dedicated time to deploy fixes on the recently released Virtual Backgrounds feature:

• Fixed issue that the Email background color wouldn’t save correctly;

Hello there, welcome to InEvent News!

If you are a frequent reader, you may already know that InEvent is the perfect solution for B2B companies that host multiple events throughout the year. Thinking about that, I have some new changes to introduce you to our billing model:

• Cap of up to 40% per event of your subscription size.

For all new customers signing their subscriptions with InEvent, we are implementing a new lock on the platform to prevent single alone large events. That means no single event can represent more than 40% of your subscription volume. If so, the platform will automatically lock new registrations on that event. 

• Minimum of 100 registration multiples when buying upsells.

The calculator and the invoice will be limited to a number that is a multiple of 100 when purchasing new registration to your current subscriptions.

For example: 100, 300, 4000. Numbers that do not end with the 00s, such as 320 or 17, are no longer valid.

Our product team also has some exciting new features to share today! 😁

Are you looking forward to delivering a good experience for the sponsors of your event? Now it’s possible to add a feedback questionnaire for sponsors so they can rate their experience. You can send the feedback questionnaire through email or social media. After the session is over, you can collect their feedback and analyze which gaps you should improve to get a better experience. 

Now it’s possible to talk privately with the presenters, either on Activity or Sponsor sessions. And your staff team does not even have to be presenting to access these chats. Admins, Staff, Sponsor Workers (on sponsor booths), Room Owners also have access to the private chat.

Apart from the above updates, we fixed some issues to make your experience more pleasing and enjoyable. Have a look at the list below:

• Fixed duplicated tooltip names on networking for Virtual Lobby;
• Fixed issue on Control Room when using Tokbox that would show hidden streams for a brief second when sharing and unsharing screen;
• Fixed Automatic layout issue on Control Room when using Tokbox;
• Fixed issue on Networking Roulette that wouldn’t allow users to match when Profile Lock tool was enabled;

That is all for today. Stay tuned and come back for more InEvent News soon! 

Hello there, welcome to InEvent News!

Today I have some fantastic features to introduce to you. Are you ready for it? 😁

InEvent launched a brand-new attendance tracking feature. If you ever wondered if your attendees are engaged in your event or not, now you can know for sure. 

This feature automatically generates pop-ups asking whether the attendee is still there and requires the attendee to click to prove that they are. It allows organizations to accurately measure the completion of Continuing Education Units (CEU) and Continuing Professional Education (CPE) at virtual courses and seminars so that professionals can earn their credit hours. The attendance tracking system also includes detailed analytics and reporting. Attendance tracking reports provide information on each attendee for a specific session or activity, the date and time of each session, the entry/exit times, the duration of viewing, and the computed units. 🚀

And the good news is not over. We also want to introduce you to network roulette.

One of the most exciting things about being part of an event is to have networked with different people, right? Thinking about it, InEvent has launched the networking roulette. 

This feature allows your attendees to connect on 1:1 meetings randomly in the Virtual Lobby. It can be an excellent opportunity for your delegates to get to know each other in a video chat, allowing them to network during the event. While managing the event, you can configure the duration of the meetings on the Networking Roulette or leave it undetermined; When the timer is over, the users will go back to the roulette lobby. That's amazing, right? Your attendees will love it.

Apart from the above updates, we fixed some issues to make your experience more pleasing and enjoyable. Have a look at the list below:

• Fixed distorted images on people tab for Virtual Lobby session;
• Fixed chat opening issue on Classic layout for Virtual Lobby;
• Fixed word break on Notifications for Virtual Lobby;

It will also make it easy for your attendees to understand the subject or objective of each activity on My Agenda. 😄
