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 expand your event's reach and attract audiences who cannot attend 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.
Specific Steps to Follow for Virtual Events
1- In the Information tab for your event, go to the Location section. Then, select "Virtual" as the Location type.
2- Under Streaming Provider, select the provider you want to use.
Make sure you understand 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 to the stream!
