The Speakers section is an excellent way to communicate to your audience who you are featuring during your live streams. Managing this section will allow you to curate and customize how that information is presented to your audience.
Helpful Tip: This section relies heavily on your Bios Library, which is found in your main account's Metadata Control Panel. Bios must first be created there before they can be used in this section.
Show Speakers Section
By default, the Speakers section will be shown in all four event states. To disable any of these, you can click on the X next to the state you wish to remove. If you want to add back a state that you removed, you can use the dropdown to do so.
Section Title
You can customize the Speakers section heading using our rich text editor. To do so, click on the "Modify" button to open the editor.
While you can add a significant amount of text, emojis, images and more to this editor, we encourage you to keep it simple as our layout will provide accent text behind what you type.
Ordering
You can order the bios you've added by First Name, Last Name, or None. If None is chosen, it will order the bios based on how you added them in the Speakers List.
Speakers List
To add bios to this section, start by typing the name of bio you wish to add. The drop down menu will change based on the characters you've entered. Once you see the bio you wish to add, click on the name and it will be added.
