New functions and optimisations

Advanced participant registration

Discover our enhancements in participant registration here. Decide freely how you want the registration process to work. You can customise the registration form. In addition, you can decide whether you want to use the double opt-in function and use approval mechanisms before participants reach the event.

STREAMBOXY registration process

Further innovations

A lot has happened in many areas of STREAMBOXY over the last few weeks:

  • Extended Role Model for the Backstage
    New roles are:

    Read-only access: May read everything, but may not edit anything
    Event administrator: May edit events, and participants, but may not make global (tenant) settings

    Event user administrator: May only edit participants
  • Customer-specific single sign-on providers are now also possible in addition to STREAMBOXY and Microsoft accounts.
  • With pausable livestreams , encoders can be preset and started with the same settings for production.
  • The download of livestream recordings is now possible via Backstage.
  • Q&A optimizations
    Voting of questions can now be deactivated by the moderator or speaker in the stage. In addition to the number of votes, questions can also be sorted by date. Depending on the sorting criteria, either the question with the most votes or the most recently asked question is at the top of the Q&A history. Questions can now also be pinned by the moderator. These questions are pinned at the top of the history regardless of the sorting criteria.
