Here is everything you need to check off your list before your virtual event goes live:
- Set your livestream source type to match the place you are hosting your livestream (YouTube, Twitch, Livestream.com)
- Insert your embed source key under Livestream source key
- Test or run through your event by checking Enable Virtual Module, scroll down and click Save Changes, and select Preview Livestream in the top right corner
- Set up your chat admins. They will first need to be created as ticketed guests, and then you can search and select their name under Livestream chat admins
- Select one leaderboard or social posts (if no leaderboard) to be turned on for your event
- Check your Donation Page Settings in the Setup tab to make sure you have all settings on that you want to appear when someone goes to donate during your virtual event
- IF you are only allowing ticketed guests to attend your event, you will want to check the box to Activate Ticket Gating and Make Login Required **You will not need to turn this on if you are allowing anyone to attend the virtual event**
Once you have gone through the list above, feel free to email Swell at support@swellfundraising.com to check over all of your Virtual Module settings!
Day of event, you will be able to make your event live to the public by checking Make Livestream Live and Saving Changes. Best practice is to do this 15 minutes prior to the event just in case a few guests log in early.
After your event is over, you will want to turn off the livestream. Go to the Setup tab, click on Virtual Module, uncheck the box that says, “Make Livestream Live”, and then scroll down and Save Changes.
If you have the video for your virtual event, you can place it on your Swell site for people to watch after your event is over. Go to the Setup tab, click on Content, edit the home page by clicking on the pen and paper icon, select insert -> media, place the embed link to your video here, hit save and then save again. Now it will appear in the tab on your Swell site!
Please reach out with any questions you have leading up to your event!
