I'm a Speaker. How do I Broadcast at WSFW?
As a speaker, you will need to access the Accelevents Backstage link to be able to start your live broadcast. Below, we’ll walk you through the steps from start to end on how to join an event as a speaker at WSFW20.
Note: Chrome is the preferred browser to access the event page, virtual event hub and backstage studio link.
1. Access the Email Invitation
Once you have been added to a session as a speaker, check your inbox for an email inviting you to join the event.
There are 2 links in that email:
- Virtual Event Hub Link – this link will take you to the virtual event hub > My Talks tab. This tab will show you all the sessions that you are involved in as a speaker. Access this link if you want to explore the event. When you are ready to start your talk, you can click the “Start Your Talk” button – this will take you to the backstage link
- Backstage Link – this is the link that you click if you want to start your live broadcast. When that page opens, you will be asked to set up your camera and mic to prepare for your talk. When you’re ready you can go live by clicking the Start Broadcast button
You can click any of those 2 links, but the second link is what you will use to start broadcasting live. From that email click the attached link to head over to the event page.
2. Access the Link
If you clicked the Virtual Event Hub Link, this is what you will see. Click “Start Your Talk” to access the backstage link to start your live broadcast.
If you clicked the Backstage link, this is what you will see. This is the same page that you will see if you clicked the “Start Your Talk” button.
Before beginning the broadcast of the session you can adjust your audio & video settings or upload any materials/media by clicking the “Share” icon. Make sure that your browser allows camera and microphone access and check the volume and camera output settings of your Accelevents Studio.
When you are ready to go live, click “Start Broadcast”
If you’re having a hard time logging in or using the Accelevents Studio, here are some tips to make it work:
- Use the recommended browser (Chrome)
- Make sure that your browser is up to date
- Allow Screen Sharing (Mac users)
