Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A virtual event takes place online at a specific time. Using this event type, you have the option to include a livestream on your landing page or to forward your guests directly to an online meeting (for example with Zoom, Webex or MS-Teams). If you don't use a dedicated video conferencing tool yet, eyevip meeting is an interesting alternative coming out of Switzerland.

Communication

When you create a virtual event, eyevip provides you with additional emails and pages for communication.

Using the mail Reminder before the live stream, send all registered guests the link to your online meeting.
When guests click the link before the event, they are redirected to a landing page. Once the event begins, guests are automatically redirected to the meeting URL. A virtual check-in occurs and guests are marked as present.

Good to know: if you want to use the link to the livestream in other emails, use the placeholder {$guest_virtualevent_live_url}.

For more information about sending emails, see Send e-mails.
