Many improvements for our administrators
We always strive to make our interface easier to use for you. Still we don’t want to make too many big changes at a time, allowing you and all the other InvitePeople users to adapt gradually. Some of the more prominent improvements can be found in the HTML and CSS editors, in the meetings and calendar handling functions and in video management.
The HTML and CSS editors now allow you to drag-n-drop files straight into the editor. The file will upload to our servers and an URL to the file will be inserted at the cursor in the editor.
Handling participants calendars is easier than ever. You can now for example remove booked sessions and unmark participants as busy from the administrator interface. Managing and rescheduling large meetings with many participants is now straight forward.
For you who upload a lot of videos or use parallel live streams we added a description field to every video. That way you can keep track of which video or live stream is which. When trimming live stream recordings you can assign the new trimmed video directly to a session or add a description to it.
InvitePeople Entrance app in the Apple App Store
We love digital meetings, but are also super thrilled that in-person events are on the rise again! The InvitePeople Entrance app will allow you to scan InvitePeople tickets from your own iOS devices. Just download the app, sign in as an administrator and start scanning. The ticket QR codes can be distributed via text messages and email, or just accessed by the participants by logging in to InvitePeople. The app can be used for entrance ticket validation and statistics, session scanning to ensure pre booked participants their seats and coupon scanning.
Control access to sessions and pages
Many events have different groups and types of participants, and sometimes they should be able to access different information and different sessions. You can now granularly control the participants access to a page or session. Pages can be set to be publicly accessible on the internet for anyone with the link, accessible by logged in participants only, or by participants with a specific ticket.
File uploads in the chat
If you run workshops or webinars and want to share documents or files with the participants this one is for you! You can now, as an administrator or chat moderator, upload files and documents and publish them to all participants in any chat. If you need to collect files from the participants there is a new poll type: File upload. This will allow participants to upload and submit files back to the chat moderator.
