titleWhat is needed for organising a successful virtual conference?

In addition to the platform, organising a good virtual conference requires a video production company that helps to make a quality broadcast. In the case of large conferences, it is also a good idea to cooperate with a conference management agency who helps to create the concept of the event and ensure an integrated result.

titleHow can we organize a video conference without having to hire a production company? How can I do a live video conference?

You can freely create, produce, and manage the stream with your efforts. For example, via YouTube Live, Vimeo Live or UT's streaming server. It is also possible through the university's multimedia team, which creates the necessary slot in UTTV.

If the stream is embeddable, you can place it in Worksup. We recommend testing it in the participant view a few days before the start of the event.

See the possibility of using MS Stream, including the Video conference applications at UT.

titleWorksup and Zoom integration?

If you produce a stream from a Zoom Webinar or meeting (for example via YouTube Live, Vimeo Live or UT streaming server), you can insert it into Worksup. This option works, for example, to get remote presenters or panellists into the stream.

Zoom video conference cannot (yet) be embedded in Worksup. However, links can be added to the program to join a Zoom video conference outside Worksup.

titleIf I use a license purchased by the university and create an event, can I also add a technical partner who is not from the university as an admin?

One Worksup event can have one admin. If delegating to a trusted partner. It is not possible to add other users to the admin status. Making changes in Worksup simultaneously is not recommended and concurrent editing should be avoided.
