Planning mobile-friendly webinar and event content has never been easier. Now, you can choose to share content in vertical video to add a polished look to your stream layout for mobile attendees.
If you are planning on streaming your virtual session to a mobile audience, you are able to set up your webcast stream so that it uses a landscape aspect ratio.
This feature requires activation by your BigMarker Customer Success Manager.
Once the aspect ratio setting has been enabled, go to the dashboard of the session you want to enable this for. The webinar must be set to Webcast mode in order for this feature to work. In the settings below, select the Mobile (9:16) Aspect Ratio after you’ve selected Webcast for Live Experience.
It’s important to keep in mind that selecting this setting will flip the aspect ratio for everyone viewing the webinar - whether your audience is viewing from mobile or desktop. The best use of this setting would be for audiences that would mostly be viewing from their mobile devices. Below is an example of what the audience will see with the Mobile (9:16) aspect ratio setting enabled in webcast mode while viewing from a desktop.
Alternatively, if you plan to stream into your own streaming app, where you know your viewers will be watching from a mobile device in a 9:16 orientation, then this is the setting that would suit that scenario best.
