Presenters play a key role in managing and delivering your virtual event. Whether moderating discussions, monitoring engagement, or leading presentations, they have exclusive tools to enhance the attendee experience. From sharing files and slides to using interactive features like whiteboards and laser pointers, presenters help create a dynamic and seamless event. Explore the steps below to set up presenters for your event.

Adding Presenters to Your Event

In the session admin there is a whole page dedicated to your presenters. Go here and click on New Presenter to get started.

In the pop-up that appears, add your presenter's details such as name, email address, bio, social media links and more. All of these are available inside of the Profile tab. Be sure to enter your presenter's most updated and active email address, as reminders and notifications will be sent to the email address entered in their presenter profile.

Note: The Admin of the channel will automatically be added as a presenter to each session hosted by the channel. 

After you add the basic details, you'll also have a whole suite of settings available

If you send a presenter notification to a presenter with an invalid email address, BigMarker will send you an automated email alerting you to this. The email will come from no-reply@bigmarker.com and will contain information on which presenter and which session had the invalid email address.

Adjust Presenter Settings

In the visibilty tab, you'll find a number of settings for how this presenter appears in the session room and the landing page.

In the Permissions tab you'll be able to configure advanced presenter permissions for individual presenters. You will also set the level of access that the presenter has.

In the Advanced tab you'll have an option for adding a second image, which only is used in custom landing pages.

When added, the Presenter will immediately get the presenter notification email. In you list of presenters, you can drag and drop them to reorder them on your landing page.

In the More menu, you'll have the option to resend the notification email, create a practice session for that presenter, or delete the presenter from the session.

Adding existing presenters

If you have presenters that have been added to other sessions or series on your channel, you can easily import them into the session you're working on. Instead of New presenter click on Add save presenter. You'll then see a list of presenters that you can search through. Check the boxes of the presenters you want to add and save.

Additional Permissions for your Presenters 

For your presenters you'll have a set of options for what you want to allow them to access within the studio. Go to Presenters > Permissions in order to configure these settings which will include how presenters enter the room and what content they can update within the studio.
