Release notes

Event managers, an exciting new tool has been added to your toolbox! You can now add customizable pages to your event site on top of the out-of-the-box ones. Get creative when building your custom pages, using a variety of graphic building blocks like a hero banner, speaker gallery, free text, clickable images, and more. Choose to make them public - to attract new registrants with a preview of what’s in store, and even build multiple landing pages, each tailored to a different segment of your audience; or restricted - offering exclusive content accessible only to registered and authenticated attendees. Start crafting unique event experiences today!

Get a deeper understanding of how your attendees are engaging with your sessions and content, with the great new metrics we’ve added to the session analytics dashboard. Now you can track what percentage of your attendees participated in the group chat, answered polls, asked questions in the Q&A tab, or downloaded attachments. You can even drill down to the attendee level and find what actions they took during the session.

During a session, your event team needs to be kept in touch privately (and often urgently). From now on, you can drop the distracting chat apps and communicate right in the chat widget, where we have added a private backchannel tab. This tab, only visible to moderators, is where you can discretely discuss the session while it’s happening, curate key questions from the chat, and make decisions together on the fly.

Want to make sure your viewers are watching? The new Prevent Seek feature prevents viewers from skipping ahead or going back, ensuring they watch your content in the right order. Perfect for educational and compliance training, it guarantees all information is seen and provides detailed analytics.

With the new copy event feature, admins and event managers can copy events including their branding, email templates, registration form, notifications, and more. This means more effective work, better time management, and consistency across events. Event teams can now focus on things that may need a personal touch, while we’ll take care of the nitty gritty work for you.

We’ve got two new in-session crowd engaging features:
In-session announcements- moderators can now create ad-hoc notifications directly from the chat and collaboration widget. Big or small, let everyone know what’s happening on the fly, in real-time, while the session is happening.

In-session crowd reactions- moderators can now send ad-hoc crowd reactions to all viewers, at the same time. Celebrate a milestone, create excitement for what comes next, or just re-focus the audience on something that just happened during the session.

During an Interlude, we’ve added an invite-only, backstage area, so speakers and moderators can continue to prep, align, and do whatever they need to do before the interlude is over.

and find out who’s using an ad-blocker with our new ad-blocker player plugin. With this plugin, detect any browser-based ad blockers and take action. Admins can inform the viewer or even block playback of content until the ad blocker is disabled. Why should you care about ad-blockers, you’re wondering? Ad blockers could interfere with analytics collection which means less insights on how viewers are engaging with content. For some viewership-based features such as quizzes, badges, and leaderboard, it may result in incomplete information.
