CC Engage Virtual Networking

CC Engage Virtual Networking

Virtual networking rooms have now arrived here at Crowdcomms. 

CC Engage is the name of our Virtual Networking platform here at Crowdcomms. The rooms can be edited to suit the client. They can change the background, logo, and colour theme in the rooms. 

Groups of up to 8 people can form a "bubble" and start an audio and or video call with each other. Users are free to leave and join bubbles when they wish. This encourages networking with new people. 

If the client wishes they can link a live stream to the room. This will be played automatically to all users in the room and can be watched whilst in a “bubble”

All attendees in the room can also use the chat feature to talk to everyone in the room.
