You have now created a session, while there can be a lot to configure, this guide aims at providing a focus on the essentials, enabling you to intuitively understand the other pieces as you go. Don't hesitate to ask the support chat if any question pops up.

Invite co-workers to Univid:

1. Expand the Admin management section.

2. Press Add +

3. Now you can either share a link or add it by writing in their already existing Univid account. This procedure works for any Univid account which is registered via email. The link is easy to share with co-workers who do not already have an account or using trial accounts.

OBS: this link is only for co-workers/guest speakers. Or any person supposed to be part of the production of a webinar/live broadcast.

Now you are almost done. All that is left is to decide if you want to allow participants to participate in the session anonymously or by registering. Once it is done the final step is to let the world know about that you are about to go live by sharing the link.

Image 9: Manage registrations within the left menu

In the Access and registration section, you can enable a registration form (1. in the image above), and you can also configure what information you would like to receive from registrants (2. in the image above).

You can also tick the Can be discovered. Univid will then showcase our upcoming session on the Univid discover feed.

Reminders

Remember to enable reminders, it is a great way to create awareness for invited participants who have not already added the webinar to their calendar in a previous email sent from Univid.

A fun part of email settings is press preview. This enables you to see the design of the email reminders directly, it automatically adapts based on the design made in B.1 Adapt the look.

Image 11: Note the two share session buttons, this will give a link which you can share with anyone you would like to join as a participant.

There are two easy ways to share a session in Univid, either use the button available in the center bottom of the screen. Or the Share session list item in the left menu.

Choose your preferred way to share the link, either copy the link and paste it to your desired channel. Or perhaps press the email button to get the link inserted into an email draft.
