Create an On-Demand event

On-Demand events are recordings that can be watched at any time. When setting up an On-Demand event, select whether the primary media clips (typically presenter narration) you plan to include are audio or video files. This Media setting affects what you can upload to the event and present in the video player (headshots with audio or videos) and the video player size (on the Player & Branding tab). You can include overlay videos regardless of the Media type you select.

After creating the event, go to the Event Content tab to upload your primary media clips, slide decks, videos, and other content you'll share in the event. Then, open the On-Demand Studio and assemble your event. To learn more about uploading clips and assembling the event, see:

• Upload audio clips for use in a recorded event
• Upload videos for use in a recorded event
• Assemble or edit an event recording

Note: The event can be from 30 minutes to 8 hours long.

3. Next to Event Type, select On-Demand.

   • Video files to use as presenter video in the video player, select Video.

Allow attendees to view the event

Once the event is ready for viewing, make sure to allow attendees to access the event. By default, the event window is closed to attendees to prevent them from viewing the event before it has been assembled.

To allow attendees to access the event:

1. Go to the Event Summary tab.
2. In the Event Details section, under Event Access, click Manage Access.

   

3. On the Manage Event Access window, set the Player to Open.

   

4. Optional. Set the player to close at a scheduled date and time and update the message attendees see when they join the event when the player is closed.
5. Click Save Changes.
