Virtual Lobby: troubleshooting guide

InEvent works with new and dynamic platforms to always deliver the best experience. If you are facing minor inconveniences, make sure to check if you are using a compatible browser, if you are meeting the minimal technical requirements and if your settings are correctly set.

First steps

1. Review our requirements page to make sure you are meeting those requirements.
2. Browser compatibility: We ask you to give preference to Google Chrome. Click here to download. But you can also use:

• Chrome (Mac / PC) 56 or newer (better experience, required for presenters)
• Firefox (Mac / PC) 44 or newer (recommended alternative)
• Safari (Mac) 11 or newer (recommended alternative)
• Chrome (Android) 80 or newer
• Safari (iOS) 11 or later

1. If you are:

• A speaker, room host, or administrator joining a session you'll be taking part in
• An attendee being invited to speak by a room host
• A speaker, room host, administrator, or attendee networking with other people

You'll need to make sure you have given InEvent browser permissions to access your camera and microphone. Click here for further information.

Video tutorial on how to troubleshoot

Mobile access

Currently, the video streaming feature for viewers is ensured for mobile and tablet users.

Mobile phones and tablets will work on up-to-date devices, but you may have to do the following steps:

1. Copy the link and paste it into the browser.
2. Use Google Chrome (Android) or Safari (iOS).

Network firewall or web security gateway

If the Virtual Lobby stays in a Connecting state or you can’t join a session due to a Network Error, it could mean that your networking is blocking our IP addresses through a Firewall or a Gateway.

Setting up your Firewall

You will have two video providers available in the Virtual Lobby: Agora.io and Tokbox.

• If Agora is your WebRTC provider, click here to check the requirements that must be met.
• If Tokbox is your WebRTC provider, click here to check the requirements that must be met.

Virtual Private Network: VPN

• If you are a speaker, we recommend turning off your VPN.
• If you are an attendee of the event, using a VPN should work fine but we do not recommend using Cisco VPN as it may cause Connecting issues.
