Hosts and Moderators Settings
Select an Event Host for a Webcast Event
Every Webcast must have a designated Event Host to start and run the event no matter if it is private or public. Only the Event Host may start and control the event from the Event Calendar and there may be up to three event hosts assigned per event. An Event Host is typically selected during event creation and the event creator is the default host selected.
 
Note: Event Moderator tasks and permissions are different from those of an Event Host. See: Add an Event Moderator to a Webcast Event
*To select one or more Event Hosts:
1. Navigate the Event Calendar and select the event.
2. Scroll to or open the Host and Attendees section.
3. Select one or more hosts from the Select an Event Host control. Only accounts with the Event Admin, Event Host, or Account Admin roles will appear here.
 
Note: The Rev search engine works similar to popular Web search engines in that using double quotes around your search will narrow it and result in more accurate results if you are looking for a specific user or item.
For example, if you are searching only for one specific video, user account, event, etc., enclosing the search in double quotes avoids returns of similar terms or derived words in your search results.
Note that this is also true when using Find Items search within the Rev user interface to search for user accounts.
 
4. All event hosts assigned will be able to control the Webcast slides if a moderator has not been assigned.
5. If the event host that creates the event is unable to reach the Webcast, additional hosts or Admins assigned may control the Webcast.
6. If no event host or Admin is able to reach the Webcast, it will automatically end on its own after 60 minutes of its scheduled end.
 
Note: The Event Host added first is the “owner” of the event (and appears last as a result in the Host list if more than one Host is added).
In the example below, the Event Host “Mari Crawford” is the actual owner of the event. Be aware of this if you add more than one Event Host to your Webcast and add the person you want to “own” the event first.
 
Note: Event Hosts may only edit and control the events they specifically create. Event and Account Admins, however, may edit and control any event created in the system.
