Without having to manually message your registered attendees manually prior to the event, your <strong>attendees will now receive all the information they need to access the live stream and effectively join the event, in their user dashboard (My Tickets page)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making the online event experience more seamless for both organisers and attendees, the latest update enables three key features:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Streaming URL and Additional Notes&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Organisers of online-only events are now able to enter their event&#8217;s <strong>Streaming URL<\/strong> and <strong>Additional Notes <\/strong>on the Advanced Page of online-only events. This information can be added and edited by the organiser and co-organisers of the group, at any point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Additional Notes section <\/strong>enables organizers to input up to 2000 characters of text, where you can inform your attendees with the proper instructions on how to participate in the online event. You can now <strong>input<\/strong> key information such as <strong>meeting passwords, software requirements, event rundown and other guidelines <\/strong>to help your attendees join the event smoothly. You may also add URLs and email addresses in this section, which will open up in a new tab when clicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Only logged-in registered attendees <\/strong>will be able to access the Streaming URL and additional notes displayed on the watch stream page, as an added measure to help ensure your event remains exclusive to those who have signed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"789\" height=\"772\" src=\"https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Link-Out.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Link-Out.png 789w, https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Link-Out-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Link-Out-768x751.png 768w, https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Link-Out-650x636.png 650w, https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Link-Out-440x431.png 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Link Out or Embed YouTube Live Stream&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now select from two streaming methods: <strong>Link Out (to any platform) or Embed (for YouTube only)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By selecting <strong>Link Out<\/strong>, you can now direct attendees to your platform of choice, to watch the event. You can <strong>input a streaming URL to any platform such as Facebook Live, Zoom and many more.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using YouTube Live as a streaming platform and prefer to have everything in one place, you can select Embed. By choosing Embed, the <strong>YouTube Live stream will be screened on the Watch Stream page<\/strong> and accessible only to logged-in registered attendees. This enables attendees to watch the stream and participate directly in the live chat, directly from the page on Peatix.&nbsp; Should you prefer to link out to YouTube directly, the former Link Out option is also available for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"767\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Embed.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Embed.png 767w, https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Embed-300x286.png 300w, https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Embed-650x620.png 650w, https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Embed-440x420.png 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Easier access for attendees&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Watch Stream page is created specifically for online-only events.
