Sponsor Rooms

Having dedicated virtual rooms for each sponsor provide multiple benefits for companies supporting your event. Straight from the Virtual Lobby, they have the means for engaging and networking with attendees, building relationships, and expanding their reach in their target audience.

Creating a Virtual Room for your sponsors

If you'd like your sponsor to have a dedicated room in the Lobby, please go to Event > Sponsors > select the sponsor > click the Edit button, scroll the page down and mark the box Virtual Room checkbox. Please remember to click End when finished, saving the changes that were made.

Adding a room cover

Once the room is created, you'll be able to upload a room cover. If you leave it blank it will be a block color. The desired size for it is 560 x 320 (px by px).

This is how the room cover image will be displayed to participants in your Virtual Lobby:

Getting the room link

The room link is the URL for accessing the sponsor's virtual room. Please note that users must already be logged into the platform with their Magic Link or password credential for it to be accessed.

Setting the room host

The room host will be in charge of managing the stream, being able, together with event admins, to invite viewers to go on camera and join the transmission. Room hosts are also able to join the sessions sharing their cam/mic, moderate chats, add/remove files available for download and also have access to the private chat even when not presenting. To learn more about permission levels on sponsor rooms please check this article.

Choosing a maximum number of presenters in the room

Here you will set the maximum number of people you want to be on camera simultaneously in the room. If your plan includes Video Conferencing Pro, you will be able to have up to 17 presenters in a room. If your plan doesn’t include Video conferencing Pro, you will be able to have up to 9 presenters in sponsor rooms.

Choosing the room video mode

You can select your room video mode from Pre-recorded, Control room, VideoConferencing, and External Link. For more information about each of them, please check the article choosing your room video mode.
