What Is a Virtual Event?
By virtual events we mean events taking place remotely and broadcast live for which ticket buyers get 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 gain distant audiences who cannot physically travel.
How to Put a Virtual Event Online?
To put a virtual event online, you will have to follow, for the most part, the same procedure as for a physical event.
Here are the few steps that differ:
1- In the Information tab (My events), select Virtual in the Location section under Location type.
2- Under Streaming Provider, select the provider you want to use for your event.
3- Under the section Dates,
Doors: enter the time for which you want the chat area to become available;
Start Time: enter the time for which you will be able to start live streaming.
On the example above, the chat area would become available at 13:30 (1h30PM) whereas the live video would start at 14:00 (2PM).
4- Choose if you want to redirect you clients or embed your video on our securized page.
5- Click on Save.
6 - If you are using a streaming provider other than Thepointofsale.com, select this provider in the drop-down menu in the Information tab and paste the unique streaming URL for your event.
IMPORTANT! You need to paste your streaming URL in this section before your event start or your buyers won't be redirected towards the stream!
Ticket buyers will receive a redirect link.
