Word Games

Jigsaw Puzzle

Event chat

• Everyone chat, which reaches everyone within the Event. This can be restricted so that only hosts can send messages to everyone.
• Room chat, which will target everyone present in that current room.
• Table chat, which is the chat thread that is specific to each table. These can be erased after each thread by editing under the Settings tab.
• Direct messages, which are private between two members.
  

User Profiles

Turning on profiles is a great way for guests to identify and learn more about each other. As an event designer and host, you have the ability to edit the profile fields and the icons associated with each topic.

1. Each field you label will become a free form answer for your guests to fill out when they first arrive to the event.
2. You can add a field by clicking “Add a profile field”. You can have up to 5 profile field sections.
3. You can remove a field by hovering over the field, and clicking the “x”.
4. To edit the icon, click the icon and select from the options available.
5. You can add pre-defined options, by clicking the 3-dot menu next to the profile field, and choosing “Set options”.
   • Each new line will become an option within a drop down menu for your guests to choose from.
     

• Users can update their profile at any time during the event by selecting “Edit Profile” after clicking on their avatar in the top right corner on their screen.

• Guests that have signed in using an email address will see their own email listed at the bottom of the profile fields section. Their email address will not be visible to other users unless the guest elects to share their email by sharing their contact information with another user.

Upload videos

If you are planning on sharing a video during your event, upload it here beforehand to avoid having to screen share the video and creating a sub-optimal guest experience. By uploading your video beforehand, you can stream the video to all of your guests at once guaranteeing they can see and hear everything just as you do.

To play an uploaded video to your guests, join the room in which you would like to play the video, navigate to the 3-dot menu and select “Play Video”. You will be shown a modal with any videos you have uploaded, you can then choose which video you would like to play. The video will play to everyone in that room within your event.
