Session Options

Depending on your content requirements you may opt for different methods of delivering a specific session. Below we have outlined the most common types of sessions and options to manage these. 

Live streamed session 

This is the most common approach to delivering sessions on the CrowdComms platform. The session is broadcast live with the speaker delivering content in real time with production applied to ensure the output is of a high quality. 

In order to get to this output, CrowdComms production team will work with you pre event to agree on the branded templates and speaker positioning on the live stream output. In addition we work collaboratively with you on the running order to ensure everything is agreed in advance and the allocated streaming technician shows content or engagement results at the appropriate time. 

Please note: External production company can mange these type of sessions and stream seamlessly into the CrowdComms platform if this is the preference.

Pre recorded also known as an on demand session

In essence this is the same as a live stream session except for one key difference, rather than the content being streamed in real time, it will be recorded in advance and made available to watch at any given time by users on the platform.

Simu-live: Combination of pre recorded and live content

Giving you the best of both worlds; pre record your content to ensure its perfect and live stream your speaker(s) at the appropriate time to engage with the remote audience through live polling and Q&A. When you stream your speaker for the live engagement, ensure they sit in the same location and wear the same clothes as they did on the pre recorded section to ensure the session flows seamlessly between the pre recorded sections and live sections.

Zoom Integration

Integrate your zoom account to include zoom meetings within the CrowdComms platform. Zoom functionality works seamlessly within the platform and users are not required to download zoom. 

Key points:

CrowdComms round table feature

Open conversation / discussion rooms that allow all users to have equal rights to discuss a topic and share screen. Limited functionality, where allocated hosts are required along with other features such as chat, we recommend using the Zoom integration.

If you prefer to use another video conferencing solution such as Teams to run your breakouts, you can include a branded 'Join meeting' or similar button in the session description. When clicked by users, this will open your video conference solution of choice in a new tab.
