What's New

Duplicate webinar - 

You may now choose to copy an existing webinar and save the time of configuring and setting up a new webinar from scratch.

• Branding - Webinar banner image, logo image, and custom theme
• Emails - Both system emails and custom email templates 
• Registration form
• Template/custom pages - Lobby page and any custom pages
• Notifications and crowd reactions 
• Chat Settings
• Webinar settings - Support email address and organizer name and image

See Events tab for complete information.

Increased character limit on webinar titles - 

We've doubled the character limit on webinar titles from 60 to 120 characters, leaving you more room for descriptive titles. See Kaltura Events Account Home page - Create a webinar.

What's New

Signal Notifications in the Chat and Collaborate widget - 

Kaltura now provides "signals" to moderators in the CnC widget based on metric trends. Moderators are, thus, empowered to choose appropriate engagement methods based on what's going on in their session. For example, if engagement rates are trending up, it may be a great time to send out a poll. This change in engagement rate triggers a signal to the moderator, a pop-up notification prompting the moderator to take action specifically related to the signal they received. For more information, see Chat and Collaborate widget.

What's New

Bulk invitation - 

You may now invite participants to your webinar via email in bulk. You may download a pre-made CSV template that is already formatted and includes examples. Simply type the appropriate information for your users, save, then upload. You can also upload your own CSV file (without using the pre-made template). See People tab > All users - Invite participants for more information.

Recently viewed events - 

Kaltura now provides easy access to webinars you've recently viewed. Clicking on any of these recently viewed events opens them for editing. Instead of searching through the list of events, you can use this new feature to quickly revisit webinars you are managing. See Kaltura Events Account Home page - Manage your webinars plan.

Better control over profile pages on the webinar site - 

"Bio" information entered when adding speakers, moderators, and event team members displays on profiles pages of the webinar site. Instead of a simple plain text field, you are now able to better design the look and feel of this information through rich text and you may even add hyperlinks to important related information.  See an example on People tab > Speakers - Invite speakers to your webinar.
