In the webinar room, you have the ability to add your own widgets for your audience to interact with. This could be a form, videos, images, or any other content that you want to embed in either the classic engagement panel, or in it's own module in the [modular webcast mode](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/new-attendee-experience-modular-view?hsLang=en). Visit your [session admin](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/introducing-the-new-session-admin?hsLang=en) and go to **Production \> Live Experience**. From here, click on **Edit Live Experience**. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-20-2026-06-53-24-0457-PM.png?width=600&height=239&name=image-png-May-20-2026-06-53-24-0457-PM.png) You'll enter into your webinar room, where you'll find additional webinar settings. Scroll down in the left hand navigation menu to find **Add New Widget**.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%201-51-35%20PM-png.png?width=600&height=287&name=Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%201-51-35%20PM-png.png) From here, give your widget a title, then select widget type. There is an **Embed Code** option, which is an iframe that can display a video, Google Form, or any other type of embeddable code you'd like to display on your webinar.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%202-49-24%20PM-png.png?width=600&height=287&name=Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%202-49-24%20PM-png.png) ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%202-50-08%20PM-png.png?width=600&height=285&name=Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%202-50-08%20PM-png.png) The second option is for an **image**. Here, you're able to upload a specific image and add a link. The image is then clickable and opens the corresponding link in new tab. This option is great for displaying sponsor information, or creating lead generation.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%202-51-56%20PM-png.png?width=600&height=284&name=Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%202-51-56%20PM-png.png) You can also use this feature is by using the **KUDO** translation integration. This is a third party service that listens in on the webinar's audio and delivers translated transcriptions and translated audio. This is an easy integration that is achieved by using your KUDO ID, which you can get directly from KUDO and inputting it into BigMarker by selecting this option in the dropdown menu. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%203-06-03%20PM-png.png?width=600&height=286&name=Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%203-06-03%20PM-png.png) Additionally you can select **Text** to customize rich text to display in the widget. Provide text, update the style, and even use tokens to personalize the text inside of the room for each attendee.![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2025-03-58-10-5292-PM.png?width=300&height=430&name=image-png-Jul-16-2025-03-58-10-5292-PM.png) To customize your widgets in a **Classic Layout**, go back to your webinar settings and select **Classic Layout**, then **Customize Layout**.  Here, you'll have some additional settings when configuring your widget. You'll get to select whether the widget is shown under the chat tab, so a sub-item under the chat tab, or a primary tab, which is listed at the top level of the chat panel. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%203-06-48%20PM-png.png?width=600&height=288&name=Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%203-06-48%20PM-png.png) If you've selected **Under Chat Tab** as your widget location, the widget will appear as it does in the below image:  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%202-57-35%20PM-png.png?width=600&height=278&name=Screen%20Shot%202024-11-13%20at%202-57-35%20PM-png.png) If you've selected Primary Tab as your widget location, the widget will appear as it does in the below image:  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-13-2025-05-32-26-8052-PM.png?width=600&height=276&name=undefined-Jun-13-2025-05-32-26-8052-PM.png) These widgets will appear as part of the Classic engagement panel, as opposed to a module, which is how it appears in the Modular layout.  -
