About
If your Kaltura Events account is configured with custom event templates, the Create Event page displays two tabs - one for Preset templates (Presets) and one for Custom event templates (Custom).
A custom event template puts your company's branding at the forefront and Kaltura works closely with you to customize your template in the following ways:
Branding:
- Mode color - Light or Dark
- Typography - Font family
- Colors - brand color and theme
- Elements style - Roundness of elements like buttons and form elements, input fields, etc.
- Images - Customization of logo, event banner, emails header banner, and registration login banner
- Fav icon - Choice of the icon that displays at the top of the browser window
- Custom footer - Dedicated logo, social media links, etc.
Functionality:
- Login with username and password, magic link
- Customization of the registration form
- Customization of 'system' emails such as registration confirmation and invite
- Preset custom templates such as reminder or thank you emails.
- Additional languages for 'system texts'
- Customization of chat settings, such as enabling single thread capability
- and more...
Kaltura offers even more advanced design options (such as custom fonts, font sizes and styles, inlaid shapes, footer color, button rounding, etc.) for those companies with more complex/advanced brand books.
Once your template has been customized, it is accessible via your Events platform. As you create your events, you can select to use it over and over again.
