“Do Not Record Session ” Toggle for Main Stage & Breakout Sessions using the Accelevents Studio or Accelevents RTMP.

Using an Accelevents stream provider, broadcasts are automatically recorded and available for download. Organizers now have the ability to to disable these recordings if necessary via the “Do Not Record Session” toggle in the Stream Provider portion of each session’s settings.

The Raised Hand feature in Workshop Sessions is now animated to let the Speaker know when an attendee would like to engage.

All participants in a workshop have the ability to “raise their hand” during the session. When this is engaged, speakers will see an animated hand next to the attendee’s name via the Settings (Gear) button in their streaming window.

 Clicking on the hand will disengage the notification. Keep in mind that, for now, raising and lowering hands can only be done by each user individually.

Organizers are now able to customize the text included in both the Speaker and Exhibitor invitation emails. To customize your Speaker Email, navigate to Agenda Settings in the Agenda & Sessions tab of the Admin Console.

To customize the Exhibitor Email, navigate to the Expo Settings in the Exhibitors & Sponsors tab of the Admin Console.

We’ve also updated the default Exhibitor Invitation email message from Access Account to Access Booth.

We’ve enhanced our color settings, enabling organizers to customize the Main Background Color of the Virtual Event Hub. You are able to customize the Virtual Event Hub’s color scheme via the Virtual Event Hub tab under Event Website in the Admin Console.

If you are hosting an event that includes the Donate module, you are now able to display Donate options within a session. This will enable attendees to donate while attending a live session without having to navigate to the donate page. In the Session settings, enable the toggle Display Donation Buttons Below Video.

Additional Notes:

  • We've rebuilt the Accelevents Studio from the ground up and added the ability to play pre-recorded content from within the Studio and now even have hidden moderators!
  • Expo & Sponsorship Logos No Longer Required / Can Be Hidden
  • Enhanced Audio/Visual in Workshop Sessions, Pro Exhibitor Live Streams, and Lounge Live Forums.
  • Enhanced Speed in Networking Sessions
  • When attendees connect within your virtual event, they will stay connected in the next event that they both attend.

We are excited about all of these updates and hope you are too! Please reach out to our Support Team with any questions.
