Featured Features:
Contributor Profiles & Badges
Recognize the contributions your members have made to the community through contributor profiles & badges. Currently, the platform can automatically acknowledge and visually recognize those who host meetings, speak at virtual events, author content, and organize events.
Self-service Member Imports & Updates
Dashboard admins can now self-service bulk import members to the community and attendees or invitees to events. You can also update member types, space assignments, ticket types, and more through bulk updates as well.
Other Features:
Member Profile Redesign
The member profiles have been slightly redesigned and reformatted and now allow users to open profile pages in a new tab to see the full profile. This allows you to link directly to user profiles more easily and showcase members.
Agenda Sessions Format Customization
Customize the format listed for agenda sessions when adding to the agenda, or edit current sessions to fit your event’s style, brand, and organization’s verbiage.
Featured Attendees
Customize the order your attendees appear on the event detail & virtual ticket pages by featuring certain attendees and reordering as you see fit.
Speaker & Author Profiles
A speaker’s or author’s profile can now be linked to their member profile by email address. This unifies the data and ensures that all events they’ve spoken at, or content they’ve authored can be featured on their profile (if contributor badging is enabled).
Editable Forum Posts
If a Forum post or comment has not received any reactions or comments, it can be edited by the original poster. Or, admins can enable posters to edit their work and comments even after it's received comments and reactions. Learn more about Forum settings here.
Banning Disruptive Attendees & Bulk Deleting Chats
If you encounter a disruptive attendee in your livestream or meeting event, you can now bulk delete any messages from them and even restrict them from posting in the chat by banning them from that channel. These actions can be taken by admins from the dashboard or by Chat Moderators on the front end in events and in community-level Channels.
Meeting Room updates
You can now enable an optional sound when attendees enter the meeting room to alert you and others when new folks are joining the conversation.
Batch Email Notification Settings
Members can change how frequently they receive batch email notifications when they have unread direct messages in the platform.
Event Channels
You can add and manage discussion channels within Livestream events that are open to all attendees, or just to selected attendees.
