This article explains the backstage and how to broadcast from the backstage to a stage in a Bevy Virtual Conference

The backstage is a staging area for the main stage of the conference. It's where the presenters/speakers are during their presentations, and from where they broadcast to a main stage. 

Access the backstage

Hosts generate a backstage URL when setting up the stage details, which can be located under the Agenda tab during event creation.

This URL is then shared with presenters/speakers, allowing them to access the backstage area. 

Use backstage chat

As a backstage participant, you see a tab in between the General chat and your DMs called backstage. This is essentially a group chat for those in the backstage, and can be used throughout the event. 

Broadcast to a stage 

From the backstage, any presenter including speaker and emcee is able to broadcast to a stage.

To broadcast, click Broadcast in the bottom menu. 

Broadcasting to the main stage is different than simulcasting. You can simulcast a stage to other platforms. To learn more, see Simulcast a stage.

You can also stream to a stage. To learn more, see Live stream to a stage.

You must have presenter mode enabled to broadcast. Use the Backstage chat to ask a host for presenter mode if it isn't available. 

Leave the backstage  

If you click away from the backstage into any other session, you need the direct link to the backstage in order to re-enter.

Record from the backstage

The stage itself is automatically recorded. However, you can record the backstage so that you have your own recording. To learn more, see record a Bevy Virtual Conference event.
