Learn more about permissions for producing and presenting for live events.
Note
By default, the event organizer is assigned to a producer role and participants to a presenter role. Designate the participant's role by choosing from the drop-down.
Live event settings
- Under Live event permissions, apply the setting for attendees inside or outside of your organization.
Warning
If you only want Overlake employees or students to join, choose "Org-wide" which will require login with your Owl-ID. Similarly, choosing "People and Groups" would allow you to only invite #Staff, #Advisors2023, etc., or specific individuals, to join. If you want Parents/Guardians and/or the public to join, be sure to select "Public".
- Apply setting to your production under How will you produce your live event?
Note
By default, the event is recorded and available to producers and presenters after the event has been concluded. Additionally, recording for attendees is also available by default. Consider adding moderated Q&A, translation to other languages and captions for your online viewers.
- Click Schedule.
