Room cover
Adding a room cover to your activity will display a thumbnail icon for this session. If you do not add a room cover, this tile will be a plain, block color.
To add an image, click on the red folder icon, and upload a Room Cover from your computer, which will be viewed by the participants in the lobby. The desired image size is 280x160 pixels.
Pre-control cameras and microphones
To ensure that your speakers will enter the activity with microphone and camera enabled, go to Event > Speaker and select your speaker. Link the attendee profile to the matching speaker, and then add this speaker to the activity.
Adding the speaker to the activity will ensure their attendee profile is recognized as a speaker, and they will be able to join the event prior to the event starting, as well as having presenter capabilities

They can also choose to join the session as a viewer, and perform connection tests if any of these configurations fail.
Changing the room status tile
Depending on its room video mode, settings, start and end time, each room will display a status tile in its upper left corner.
The existing status are: On Demand, Live, Finished and Invisible.

Next, in the field Type heading value, you should add the text you want to be displayed as the new room tile and press Create.

How do I extract a report?
If you wish to generate a report on specific activities, you should select the activity, press Edit in the top right, and click Report activity.
Once you click the button, a message will appear at the top of the screen, warning you that you will receive the file with the data in your email when the process is complete.
The spreadsheet will cover categories such as total and unique views, total and average time spent in the room, interactions (feedback, polls, questions), among other data.
