What Is a Virtual Event?
By virtual events, we mean events that take place remotely and are broadcast live, for which ticket buyers receive a secure redirecting link purchased on Thepointofsale.com.
Also known as streaming and live video, virtual events help increase the reach of your events and attract audiences who cannot travel in person.
How to Put a Virtual Event Online?
To put a virtual event online, you will have to follow the same procedure as for a physical event, for the most part.
Here are the steps that differ:
1. In the Information tab for your event, select "Virtual" as the Location type in the Location section.
2- Under Streaming Provider, select the provider you want to use.
Make sure you know about the security, attendee limits and technological requirements of your broadcast provider.
3- Choose whether you want to integrate your event on our secure viewing page or redirect your buyers directly to your supplier's site.
4- Under the Dates section:
Doors: Enter the time for which you want the chat area to become available;
Start Time: Enter the time at which you will be able to start live streaming.
5- Click Save.
IMPORTANT!
You need to paste your streaming URL in this section before your event starts, or your buyers won't be redirected towards the stream!
