This article explains how to access the tools to set up an online event page.
Things to take note:
- There is now an option to add a video conference link to an event instead of a location while creating or editing your projects
- Any video conferencing tool is supported, including Zoom, Skype, Whereby, Google Hangouts and Cisco Webex Meetings
- When creating a recurring online event, ensure that your link can be used repeatedly
Instruction:
1. Make your Project online
- On your bantu Workspace Dashboard, click on 'Create new project' if you are creating a new one, or 'Edit Project' on the project that you want to change to an online event
- In the section 'Location of Project', click on the checkbox to 'Make this an online project or event' - Upon doing so, the location of the project will be disabled
2. Add the link to your online meeting
- Your project's location on the Community Portal will be 'Online', as seen below:
- Once your participants have been approved, they can view your link in the location in your project listing on the portal
3. Inform your participants of the conferencing details
- In 'Manage Project', you can use the SMS or Mail Launcher to schedule a Timeslot Reminder or Approved Signup for sending the video conferencing details
- Include other details for your video conferencing such as Meeting Passwords if applicable, and the conferencing link can be inserted using the Bantu Field, as seen below:
