With SlideSync, you can broadcast an event without needing to have all your speakers in the same room.
This feature is available to all subscriptions and supports up to 8 active speakers in parallel with video, or 25 speakers without video.
Layout
SlideSync shows all active speakers in a tile view. From three speakers on, the currently speaking person is automatically given more space (Active Speaker Detection):
Users with Event Owner or Event Manager roles are able to manually control the layout (see below).
Speaker dial-in
Preparation
All you need to do is create individual Speaker accounts for all your speakers.
Usage by speakers
Speakers log into SlideSync and navigate to the desired event. They then start the Live Producer.
The Live Producer shows a preview of the video signal and allows to switch camera and microphone if desired. If Live Producer is opened for the first time, the speaker will be prompted to allow access to the camera and microphone.
If everything fits, the participants can enter via the blue button “Join meeting”.
In the lower section of the Live Producer, we show the control bar:
It provides the following functionality:
| Icon | Funktion |
|---|---|
 | Toggle microphone |
 | Toggle speaker |
 | Toggle camera |
 | Share screen |
 | Show participants |
 | Show technical details |
 | Leave conference (the event will continue) |
Starting the webcast
As soon as all speakers are present, the webcast can be started by clicking the green “Start Webcast” button in the upper left corner of the screen:
Directing
Users with the Owner or Event Manager role can control the view, allowing them to implement a control room schedule.
Cameras and microphones
Within the participant list, speakers’ cameras and microphones can be turned off and on.
Spotlighting
Users with the Event Owner or Event Manager roles can also manually spotlight individual speakers by selecting the pin icon that appears next to their name in the attendee list.
Removing speakers
Privileged users can also remove speakers from the conference.
Phone dial-in
For audiocasts, it is possible to dial into the conference by phone as a presenter or speaker. To do this, simply dial the number that appears in Live Producer and enter the code shown:
Please note that participants always participate via web (unless you book a dedicated telephone dial-in for participants).
Therefore, please note that these access data must not be shared with participants, as all phone dial-ins are unmuted by default.
