Backstage in Bevy Virtual Conference

  • Updated

This article explains the backstage and how to broadcast 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.

This URL can also be found in Agenda, inside the event:

Use backstage chat

As a backstage participant, you'll be able to have three types of chats:

Backstage chat is essentially a group chat for those in the backstage, and can be used throughout the event. This chat is not visible in the general conference.

You can also chat with the stage public using the Public chat icon. These messages will be visible to all stage attendees.

DMs, stand for Direct Messages, where you can contact any attendee in the event.

 

Broadcast to a stage 

From the backstage, any presenter, including speaker and hosts, can broadcast to a stage.

To broadcast, click Broadcast in the bottom menu. 

After you click the button, you need to confirm the action in the popup that appears in the right-top corner:

Subsequently, the Broadcast button will change to Stop broadcasting

 

To stop the broadcast, just click the button Stop broadcasting and confirm the action in the popup:

 

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

 

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

Leave the backstage  

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

Record from the backstage

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