Customizing the Design
The design options for the Virtual Portal are available in the Event Dashboard. Navigate to Experiences > Virtual > Design to begin:
Images
Name |
Description |
Example Image |
| Virtual Portal Logo | This image is visible at the top left of the Virtual Event portal. If unset, your event's logo will be used instead. Events typically use this image to promote a primary sponsor along with the event's logo. We recommend dimensions of 900 x 100 pixels with a transparent background and no white space padding for your image. Please note, the Event Logo will be used if no image is uploaded under the Virtual Portal Logo setting. |
|
| Virtual Portal Login Image | This image is visible on the login page before entering the virtual event portal. Events typically use this image to promote a primary sponsor. We recommend dimensions of 800w x 900h pixels with a transparent background and no white space padding your image. | |
| Virtual Portal Lobby Banner | This image is visible in the lobby section of your virtual event, often used to highlight a primary sponsor. Recommended size 1000w x 200h, PNG or GIF. | |
| Global Meet & Stream Background | This background image is rendered as a background in your Meet & Stream broadcasts for sessions. Only applies if Meet & Stream via the backstage is being used to stream a session. The custom background will be visible live and in recordings, and is an excellent way to promote the event's brand and/or sponsors. The image may also be an animated GIF (will be played in a loop automatically). The recommended resolution for the image is 1920 x 1080. If a GIF is being used, the file size should be under 20 MB for best results. If a Meet & Stream background image is set for a specific session, it will take precedence over this global image setting for that session. | |
| Virtual Photo Booth Background | This background image is rendered as a background for your virtual photo booth (640w x 480h). Typically, this is a nice background featuring your event's theme color and logo. We recommend putting your logo in one corner of the image, and perhaps a sponsor's logo in another corner, as the attendee's face will consume the middle area of the selfie they take. |
Videos
