Hybrid Sessions

The Hybrid Session Room is a feature that allows remote participants and physical event attendees to join that same session. This provides a way for people at the physical event to interact with people in the online session room.

What are the benefits?

  • Physical and remote event participants can now interact.

  • Organizers have a new way of engaging physical event participants and exposing them to the digital platform.

  • Physical and remote event participants can now interact in the platform’s new hybrid session rooms.

Steps to Enable Hybrid Session Room Option:

Admin Panel → Management → Sessions → “Add Session” and/or select an existing Session to set up → Hybrid Session.
