This feature is available for Professional Plan and other higher plans
The Lobby Custom Tab
If you have additional information that you want attendees to see in the virtual event, you can add a custom tab in the virtual event hub's lobby. You can add text, images, embed codes and more to customize your lobby tab or choose to show an external page in the custom tab.
The Lobby Custom tab will appear in the virtual event hub. It will not appear in the attendee app, you'll need to create a separate page for the app in Event Design > Mobile App.
Add a Lobby Custom Tab in the Virtual Event Hub
Go to the Event Design > Event Hub of your admin console.
Select Lobby
Click + Add Custom Tab
Enter your tab name / label
Note: The icon is just for the attendee app, if you upload an image it will not show in the virtual event hub. We're removing this setting here, stay tuned for updates!
Add Custom Content to the Lobby Tab
By default, the Open a Custom Page is selected, this means you will add your own content to the page. This can be text, images, videos, links, embed external widgets and upload files.
Embed a Widget to the Custom Tab
If you have an iframe embed code, you can add that to the content editor so that the widget would show in your tab.
In the content editor click the 3 dots
Click code view
<>Paste the iframe embed code
Click code view
<>again to save code
In this example, we got an embed code from Spotify so that the Spotify playlist would show in the tab.
Upload Files to the Custom Tab
If you have files that you want attendees to download, you can also add those files to the tab.
Click the + button
Click the File icon
Upload your file
Attendees can click on the file name to automatically download the file to their device.
Show Filter Agenda or Speakers to the Lobby Tab
Aside from adding your own content, you can also insert Accelevents Widgets to the tab. You can choose to show the whole or filtered agenda or show all or some speakers.
If you added content in the content editor, this will show on top of tab, and the widget will show below.
Redirect to a URL (Accelevents Pages)
If you want to display a page in the tab instead of adding your own content or an Accelevents widget, you can choose Redirect to a URL and paste the URL.
However, this feature is limited, it will only display Accelevents pages (landing page, advance page builder, survey, LDL etc.).
Note: The "How should the link open?" settings is only applicable to the attendee app. We will be removing this setting from this menu, stay tuned for updates!
Open External Pages in a New Tab
If you added an external URL (not Accelevents), the page may load for a second and then a button to Open in a New Tab will appear.
Create an iFrame Embed Code for Your URL
If you want to external page to show in tab instead of clicking the button to access the page, you'll need to create an iframe embed code for that page. You can go to https://www.iframe-generator.com/ to generate one.
In this example, we are created an iframe embed code for a Google Form. You paste the URL, make adjustments on how it would be displayed, and copy the code.
Then in the tab settings, instead of choosing Redirect to a URL, choose Open a Custom Page, then embed your iframe code to the content editor.
Restrict Access to the Custom Lobby Tab
If you want to choose who can seen the custom lobby tab in the virtual event hub, you can add restrictions based on ticket types. If the ticket is not selected, then they won't see the tab.
