How to Add Widgets in Your Webinars

A widget is a custom iframe or image that you can put into the live webinar room for your attendees.

Learn how to add a widget to your next live webinar in the article below.

Begin by going into the Audience room in your webinar dashboard. Select Audience Room, then Modular Layout, then Customize Layout

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

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. 

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. 

The last way you can 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.

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.

If you've selected Under Chat Tab as your widget location, the widget will appear as it does in the below image: 

If you've selected Primary Tab as your widget location, the widget will appear as it does in the below image:
