Schedule a Public Webcast Event
Rev allows you to create a Webcast event that does not require authentication so that you may host public events. In this case, you need to set your event to public and specify a password if you want to control who has access to the event.
When an event is public:
●It appears in the event calendar denoted by a World Wide Web icon as a visual indicator.
●Account and Event Admins may enable or disable public access to the event.
●Public Webcasts are a licensed feature and will have a certain amount of viewing hours configured. Admins may check how many hours remain on the Admin Report dashboard. See: The Admin Report Dashboard.
●If you specify a password to the event:
○Passwords are case sensitive
○Passwords allow letters, numbers, and special characters
○There is no minimum length
○The password that is created is included in the event invitation text that is created in clear text. If no password is specified, that will also be noted.
 
*To create a public event:
1. Navigate to User > Events > Add Event.
2. Schedule the event as you normally would. See: Schedule a Webcast Event
3. Select Public as the Listing Type.
4. Use the Password field to specify a password if desired.
5. Use the Add to My Calendar button to add the event directly to your system’s default calendar. Use the Copy Event Info button to paste the Event Title, Date, Start/End Time, and URL to an email that you can send to multiple recipients.
6. Should you need this information once the event begins, the URL to the event and its password will be displayed under the Webcast Information icon once started. A link to download the PowerPoint presentation slides will also be included here if the Event Admin allows it to be downloaded.
Attendees will need to complete all fields including a Display Name, Email, and Password (if a password is set up) before they may click the Sign in as a guest button. If they do not remember the event password, they may refer to the event invitation email. Attendees may also use a Rev user account and log in to the public event if they have one.
Finally, the attendee is made aware that Vbrick captures a display name and email address that is used in certain Webcast features and reports. This use must be consented to before the guest sign in may be completed.
 
Tip: Public events are displayed on the event calendar by a world wide web icon as a visual reference.
 
Role(s):
●Event Admin, Event Hosts, Account Admin (to schedule and edit Webcasts)
●Attendees with the URL and password (if set)
