Host Live Events with Zoom & Vimeo for 10,000 Attendees

Virtual event
Using Dryfta Virtual Event Toolkit, events organizers can setup live events with live Q&A session for up to 10,000 attendees. To enable livestream and Q&A for such a large audience, we use a combination of Vimeo Livestream and Zoom.

A Zoom meeting is used by speakers to present the session and Vimeo is used to livestream that Zoom meeting to the participants watching live on Dryfta. When participants need to ask questions, they need to join the same Zoom meeting, where speakers are presenting, to ask questions.

Here’s a step-by-step process on how to set up the live event with live Q&A:

Below is a screen capture of an attendee participating in an ongoing livestream session with live Q&A:

Benefits of Live-Streaming Webinars on your Website

Dryfta + Zoom integration

 

Better user experience – For multiple webinars in a day, users do not have to keep switching between your website and the webinars.

Keeps your data centralized – Webinar platforms have tools for chat, live polls, and Q&A. However, their data is segregated and it is not easy to keep these data centralized for your participants. If you’re using a platform like Dryfta, you can live-stream your webinars on your website and also let them chat, ask questions, and participate in live-polls. This lets organizers keep their data within a single platform with access to each participant’s chats, questions, and polls they participated in across the webinars.

21 Gift Ideas for Virtual Events – the 2023 list

gift-ideas-virtual-events

 

Virtual events are becoming more and more prominent in today’s society. Not only are people more engaged and interested in them, but the opportunities they offer are numerous. Event Organizers planning virtual events are always looking for ideas to keep the attendees engaged. They employ various interactive tools like private messaging, live streaming, and state-of-the-art virtual event platforms.

What makes a virtual event a high-quality experience?

For starters, an excellent virtual event should provide attendees with many levels of excitement. Start by creating a contest for attendees at your particular event to engage with your guests and yourself. You can create themes for each level and encourage people to take photos within various locations at the event. Give prizes to those who submitted the most creative, funny, or beautiful photos. This helps build up anticipation and energy throughout your entire event.

And if you feel like your last event turned out successful that means it went off without a hitch. However, don’t underestimate the power of simple gestures: gifts can remind people and they’ll appreciate them more than you know. They also establish a bond between attendees and the organizers. The more unique and thoughtful the gifts are, the more joyful and engaged attendees become.

When looking for gift ideas for a virtual event, it can be hard to think outside the box. Some people want something practical, others want something sentimental, and some people want something fun. As long as you are able to get your giftee interested in your idea, they will enjoy it!

Perceived Value

A perceived value is a more reliable measure of effectiveness than the actual amount of money one spends. With virtual events, it’s important to give participants something that they’ll remember and appreciate more than they expected.

In this article, we’re going to share with you a list of great gift ideas that are perfect for any type of virtual event – whether it’s a launch party, a conference, or something else. With multiple categories like headphones, retro memorabilia, and upscale fashion, there’s something for every person.

Designing your Event Website is Now a Lot Easier

event website builder

 

The updates for the Dryfta event website builder were long due, and that’s why we have been working hard on the new website builder over the past few weeks. Unlike the previous version, this new website designer tool makes it a lot easier and quicker to design the website homepage, edit top navigation menus and create content pages.

Starting with the new website designer’s user interface itself, the new interface would open standalone, with the main sidebar collapsing automatically. That means the admin has the full screen to design the website. Also, to choose a theme for the website, one does not have to go to a separate page anymore. They can do so using the Theme Switcher in the top left.
