Event Interactions Pod

This article will take you through the features of the Event Interactions pod

The Event Interactions pod gives you a number of different features that you can use pre and during your event. 

Lock Status - Lock and Unlock the Auditorium

Locking the event is a way to restrict the access of viewers to the auditorium. This can be used during a live test or for any other reason. There is a Lock Bypass Key to access the auditorium while it is locked.

 
  • Open the Event Interactions pod

  • The current event lock status shows next to Attendee Access (will show as Open or Locked).

  • Click Lock Event to lock the event.

  • The Lock Bypass Key shows and can be used on the locked auditorium page to access.

  • A Lock Message will show and you can edit this to give your audience more reason as to why the event is currently locked and when this will unlock for them.

  • Click Proceed to finish locking the event auditorium.

  • You will see confirmation that the Attendee Access status has been updated.

  • Click OK.

  • You will now see that the Attendee Access is now showing as Locked.

  • To unlock the event and allow the audience to access it, click Open Event.

  • This will update the audience within seconds and your audience will once again be able to see the auditorium.

 

You can also add a schedule for the auditorium to lock or unlock at specific dates and times.

  • Select the date and time, edit the lock message and choose the Status to Locked or Unlocked before clicking Add Schedule.

  • You will see that this then adds to the schedule list

  • If a mistake is made then the red cross icon can remove this from the schedule.

Commands - Redirect to URL

In the WorkCast Studio, we have the ability to redirect the audience (anyone watching in the auditorium) to an external website such as a post-event survey.

  • Open Event Interactions, go to Commands tab.

  • Go to Type to reveal the dropdown options.

  • Select Redirect to URL.

  • Enter the link URL that you want to redirect to in the Content box.

  • Click Send.

 
  • A pop-up window will appear to confirm the details before redirecting.

  • Click on the link. This will open in a new tab. Check that this is correct.

  • Click Proceed.

  • A pop window will appear to confirm that the redirect command was successful.

  • The auditorium window should now redirect for all audience members currently on this page.

Commands - Display Message

In the WorkCast Studio, we have the ability to push out messages to display to the audience. This could be a reminder of the start time, a reminder to ask questions, or information about an upcoming event session.

  • Open Event Interactions, go to Commands tab.

  • Go to Type to reveal the dropdown options.

  • Select the Display message.

  • Enter the message you want to display to the audience in the Action box.

  • Click Send.

  • A pop window will appear to confirm that the message was successful.

  • This will now show in the auditorium as a small pop up window. A message can be sent out when the event is live or not and if it is live, that it will not disrupt the broadcast.
