How to create an external Live Stream in the Grip Networking Solution Dashboard.
1. Create the sessions in the Grip dashboard as normal. You may find this link helpful 'How to configure an event program'.
2. Find the relevant session that you would like to add a Live Stream link and open the session in the dashboard.
3. In the "Live Stream URL" section add the Live Stream link.
4. Turn on the "Embed Live Stream" button, make sure all other relevant details are filled out and click save.
How a user will see a virtual live stream session in the Grip platform
1. First, the user will see the live webinar in the 'Event Agenda' section. You can then click 'add to schedule'. In the example below, the session is live and available to everyone without having to add to schedule, so you can simply click 'Watch live stream' or click into the session to start watching it.
2. Some sessions will require you to add the session to your calendar before you can watch it. The first way to add it to your calendar is by clicking 'add to schedule' as shown in the image above. The second way is by clicking into the session and clicking 'watch now' this will automatically add the session to your schedule.
3. The below image is an example of how the embedded link will appear in the platform once you have clicked into the session.
