Host

A host is someone who is invited to lead the session. Hosts have special permissions to promote guests to stage, remove a guest offstage, ban a guest from the chat, unmute guests, share screens with the audience, and chat with each other privately. The first six hosts will join the stage automatically. However, a host can remove themselves offstage if needed.

Guest

A guest can see the hosts on stage but does not have mic/camera permissions until a host invites them to stage. When leaving the stage, their mic/camera will turn off automatically.

Set Up

Select the Livestream/Meeting tab and create a session. Then select RegFox Live as the source.

Set the Start Date / Time of your meeting and select how long you want your meeting to last.

You also have the option to restrict access to the meeting based on the registration option selected by the registrant.

Here are some things to know about your settings:

  • Once the meeting has started, you cannot change the duration of the meeting.
    We suggest giving yourself extra buffer time before or after your meeting.

  • At the time your meeting is set to close, we provide 15 extra minutes to wrap things up. You will see a countdown timer to notify you.
