How to Add Presenters to Your Webinar or Virtual Event Session

Log into your BigMarker channel, then select your desired webinar or virtual event session. Select the Presenters tab, located on the top of your dashboard. 

The Presenters tab lists all of the presenters associated with that session. Select the blue Add New Presenter button to add a new presenter. 

Note: The admin associated with the channel will be automatically added as a presenter to each session hosted by the the channel.  

In the pop-up that appears, add your presenter's name and email. Be sure to enter your presenter's most updated and active email address, as reminders and notifications will be sent to the email address entered in their presenter profile. 

Beyond that, complete the presenter profile as much as possible, including the following: 

Enable Presenter Notifications: Presenters receive email notifications from BigMarker to confirm their session, provide reminders one day and 30 minutes before their scheduled start time, and schedule a practice session. Hosts can enable or disable presenter notifications via the Send presenter invitation email notification checkbox. We strongly recommend enabling presenter notifications. 

Adjust Presenter Permissions: At the bottom of the pop-up, hosts can control their presenter's permissions within the event channel and webinar room. This includes the following: 

• Can manage webinar page: This enables presenters to make changes to your webinar/event session's dashboard, including its registration form, design, engagement features, advanced settings and more. 
• Can access Admin Control Page in live webinar room: This allow presenters to adjust their audience's microphone and camera permissions—and activate/deactivate engagement features (polls, Q&As, chat, etc.)—during the live session.  
• Display presenter on webinar landing page: When this feature is active, the presenter's name, bio and contact information are listed on the webinar/event session's landing page, meaning that potential registrants can view your presenter's credentials before registering.
• Remove BigMarker contact option: If this feature is active, your presenter cannot be contacted through the BigMarker platform.
