Conference roles and permissions

Hosts

All chapter team members automatically join virtual events as hosts. Attendees can be promoted to be a host role, but they won't have access to the admin dashboard. 

Hosts can:

Presenters / Speakers

  • Presenters can turn on the microphone, camera, and screen share.
  • Presenters can direct message (DM) a host to enable presenter mode.
  • If prompted, presenters should grant their browser to access their microphone and / or camera.
  • For stage sessions, the host may provide a backstage link. Anyone entering the backstage will be able to broadcast to the main stage when ready.
  • To broadcast or present in stage sessions, presenters need to be in the backstage area.
  • For non-stage sessions, the host may provide a "green room" to enter to test your microphone and camera before joining the live session.
  • For non-stage sessions, the presenter's name and picture will appear for attendees for the duration of their presenter mode. Presenters' camera and microphone will be turned off by default, and can toggle them on/off as needed.

Attendees

  • Attendees can join the session by first RSVP and then clicking Join Event on the event page.

  • Attendees can be promoted to hosts or presenters by hosts.

  • Attendees can send general chat in the chat tab.
    Attendees can direct message (DM) each other or hosts.

  • Attendees can ask questions under Q&A, as well as vote or sort the questions.
