Chapter 8 Live Events
Procedures
Start and Administer (Moderate) a Live Event
To start and administer, or moderate, a live event, you must have Live Event user privileges and be
signed-in as the Live Event user.
Note • For appliances running Release 5.3.7 and later, multiple Live Event users can log in. When multiple
Live Event users log in, Live Event draft preview is not supported.
• For appliances running Release 5.3, only one person (the author) should be signed-in as the active
Live Event user. Sharing the author's credentials to allow multiple people to sign-in and administer
the event is not a supported configuration.
When you are signed-in as the Live Event user, you can use the Live Event Administration page to turn
On the live event stream. Then, after the stream is started:
• Viewers can watch the live event in real time through Cisco Show and Share.
• You can administer special features as the event moderator.
–
Did you activate the “Question and Answer” feature when you prepared the live event draft? If
so, viewers can submit questions for the presenters to answer. You, as the event moderator, can
pre-screen the questions for the presenters before they respond.
–
Did you activate the “polling” feature when you created the live event draft? If so, you can run
an ad-hoc survey spontaneously during the live event. Or, if you prepared an audience survey
and saved it as part of the draft, you can run that survey during the live event. Viewers can use
Cisco Show and Share to submit their answers to the survey questions.
–
Did you activate the “slide show” feature when you created the live event draft? And did you
upload a files or a ZIP archive that contains sequentially numbered JPEG copies of presentation
slides for the live event? If so, you can sync the slide deck to the event in real time. (The
slideshow feature is only supported for DME live events.)
• You can invite additional viewers after the event has started by clicking the Share tab to send a URL
or an email invitation. However, only viewers that have been granted access during Publish a Live
Event Listing can access the live event. See the “Publish a Live Event Listing” section on page 8-12.
