Add an Event Moderator to a Webcast Event
An is used to manage and control the “behind the scene” event features that have been set up by the Event Host such as polls and Q&A sessions. This allows the Event Host(s) to focus on controlling the Webcast itself.
Tip: Any user account may be added as an Event Moderator. You do not have to be any certain functional role to be assigned as a moderator. |
Several Event Moderators may be assigned to an event while only three Event Admins may be assigned at a time. For example, you may have an event where a large panel of speakers are presenting and several hundreds of attendees are expected. This type of event would expect to draw several questions at once during a Q&A session. A moderation team to manage the question queues and polls for the speakers would be the ideal set up in this case.
The table below illustrates the differences between Event Admins and Event Moderators.
Event Moderator Tasks (As many as needed) | Event Host Tasks (Up to three per event) |
Event Moderators are unable to perform the tasks of an Event Host. They are able to perform the following tasks: ●View event attendees ●View and manage the poll interface during an event ●View and manage the Q&A interface during an event ●View the event invitation text during an event ●Download the chat report after the event ●Download the Q&A report after the event ●Access the event dashboard ●Toggle the event layout ●Control the event presentation (if designated, one moderator at a time) | Event Hosts are able to perform all the tasks of an Event Moderator in addition to the following tasks: ●Create an event ●Edit an event ●Start an event ●Stop an event ●Pause an event ●Broadcast an event ●Record an event ●All admins will be able to control the event presentation unless one moderator has been designated. |
It is important to keep in mind that moderators will not be able to modify or control the event aside from its features.
