Q: [Host] How can I add a co-host to my event?

You can add hosts in two ways: <ul> <li>Promoting any user inside the event as a host</li> <li>Add a guest user in your event with the HOST role (check <a href="/en/article/how-to-control-access-to-an-event-v8gf9y/">here</a> how to configure the guest access)</li> </ul> All the hosts of the event will have the same rights as the owner of the event, so be sure to give the rights only to the correct user. Hosts will also have access to the cockpit, however in order for them to have access, they need to login with their email or with a Google account. ${youtube}<a href="wZgvQR1fgg4">Add a co-host</a> Note: If a person is logged into an event as guest and will then be awarded the host rights, the person will not get access to the Cockpit. In order to gain access to the Cockpit, the person needs to leave the event, log out from it's current profile and then rejoin the event by signing in with email or the Google account. When this new profile gets the host rights, the user should be able to log into the Cockpit with the same credentials.

Q: What is the white-label model?

We differentiate between a white-label solution and <a href="/en/article/lookfeel-how-to-customize-the-look-feel-of-your-event-14x989m/">customization of the event</a>. Every event host can customize… <ul> <li>the look and feel of the event itself by changing the colors and uploading a logo</li> <li>the URL of the event (e.g. app.veertly.com/v/YOUR_URL) -&gt; See more information about the <a href="/en/article/lookfeel-how-to-customize-the-look-feel-of-your-event-14x989m/">customization options</a> here.</li> </ul> But the white-label model goes beyond that. In a white label instance, all mentions of Veertly will be removed and all parts of the platform will be shining with your brand, even in all the loading screens, your logo will replace the Veertly logo. Furthermore, you can fully customize the URL of the newly created platform. You will basically have your own event platform. This is especially interesting for large corporations, but also event management agencies. <a href="https://www.veertly.com/about">Get in touch</a> if you would like to see examples or learn more.

Question 2

[Rooms] Which apps can be added in a room?

Accepted Answer

You can add any web app that can be embeddable on a web page in a Veertly room.

A list of apps that we have already tested can be found here, but surely there are many more you can use! Just share with us which ones you would like to see added to this list!

Question 3

[Host] How can I add a co-host to my event?

Accepted Answer

You can add hosts in two ways:

Promoting any user inside the event as a host
Add a guest user in your event with the HOST role (check here how to configure the guest access)

All the hosts of the event will have the same rights as the owner of the event, so be sure to give the rights only to the correct user. Hosts will also have access to the cockpit, however in order for them to have access, they need to login with their email or with a Google account.

Note: If a person is logged into an event as guest and will then be awarded the host rights, the person will not get access to the Cockpit. In order to gain access to the Cockpit, the person needs to leave the event, log out from it's current profile and then rejoin the event by signing in with email or the Google account. When this new profile gets the host rights, the user should be able to log into the Cockpit with the same credentials.

Question 4

[Main Stage] How to configure the main stage?

Accepted Answer

The main stage of your event can have one of three different modes:

Video conference: a video call where participants can actively interact with each other. This mode is recommended for smaller events of less than 20 people.
Live stream: all attendees will watch a live stream which is showing the show. Speakers and hosts usually are in a different space (that we call backstage) which is then presented on the main stage via this broadcast mode. This mode is recommended for larger events.
Embedded App: allows attendees to use the web application you want the most by embedding it directly onto the main stage.

Question 5

What to do when experiencing firewall issues?

Accepted Answer

When experiencing firewall issues you may need to allow Veertly to run. This is done, depending on the instance, by adding the following exceptions to the firewall.

Main platform

*.veertly.com

app.veertly.com
cockpit.veertly.com
app.eu.veertly.com
cockpit.eu.veertly.com
app.aurora.veertly.com
cockpit.aurora.veertly.com

Firebase Database

Firewall ports to be configured

The ports to whitelist on all hosts are port 10000 UDP, port 443 UDP and TCP. Specifically, the TURN servers use UDP and TCP port 443, while the bridges in the IP ranges below use port 10000 with only UDP.

Question 6

What is the white-label model?

Accepted Answer

We differentiate between a white-label solution and customization of the event.

Every event host can customize…

the look and feel of the event itself by changing the colors and uploading a logo
the URL of the event (e.g. app.veertly.com/v/YOUR_URL) -> See more information about the customization options here.

But the white-label model goes beyond that. In a white label instance, all mentions of Veertly will be removed and all parts of the platform will be shining with your brand, even in all the loading screens, your logo will replace the Veertly logo. Furthermore, you can fully customize the URL of the newly created platform. You will basically have your own event platform. This is especially interesting for large corporations, but also event management agencies.
