Thanks for your feedback.

If you want a dedicated feature in your Event App where folks can use your chosen third-party platform, the Web Link feature is a great option. Here's how to set it up:

1. Add the Web Link feature to your Event App.

2. Edit the feature and paste in an embeddable URL for the site or service.

3. Uncheck the 'Open link in external browser' box.

4. Check the ' Pass Data to URL' checkbox if you want to pre-fill forms for sites like Calendly or Jotform.

   

5. Click Save Changes when you're done.
6. Now, click the feature's Settings (⚙️) icon and change its name and icon to better reflect platform.

Keep in mind, if you want to keep the feature hidden until you've tested it, assign it to a hidden group until you're ready to reveal it. Read our article about testing your Event App for complete instructions.

Now, attendees using the Web App can interact with your embedded content without leaving the Event App. Here's an example of a Pixieset photo gallery embedded in the Web App:

Mobile App users can click the feature to launch the content in their device's default browser.

If you want to use your third-party platform to enhance your live streams, add it to a Live Stream feature or an Agenda Session with a Custom Tab. There's more information on using Custom Tabs in our Embed Web Content with Custom Tabs article. For now, here's a quick overview of the process:

1. When you create an Agenda Session or Live Stream feature, expand the Attendee Engagement section.

   

2. Activate the Enable Custom Tab toggle and paste in an embeddable URL for the site or service.
3. Enter a Tab Name so attendees know what to expect when they click on the tab.
4. Click Save Changes , and you're done!

For attendees using the Web App, the embedded Custom Tab content appears in a tab to the right of the live stream panel, so they can interact without leaving the live stream or opening a new browser tab. Here's an example of a Yammer Feed embedded in a Custom Tab:

When adding or editing a new item in the Sponsors, Exhibitors, Speakers, or Custom List features, click the Content Provider drop-down and select Website. If the provider you're using is listed as one of the other options in the drop-down, such as Wistia, select it instead!

When attendees visit the item, the content appears embedded in the Web App. Mobile App attendees can tap the video link to open it in their device's default web browser. Here's an example of a Wistia video embedded in a Sponsor profile.

Almost anywhere in the Event App where you can add an external link is an opportunity to embed content. There are too many places you can use external links to list here, so read our External Links article for a complete overview and instructions.

No matter where you put the external link, the embedded content always takes up the full content area in the Web App, just like in the image in the 'Use a Web Link feature' section above.
