How To Make Your Virtual Event Content On Demand

Setting Up All Content On Demand

To make all of your content available on-demand, you simply do not add session time slots to your sessions. When you are ready to make your content available, all that is needed is to publish your sessions.

1. Navigate to the admin portal
2. Select Sessions
3. Select All Sessions
4. Filter for Session
5. Click the Session Details icon.
6. Leave Time Slot set to "Please select..."
7. Make sure the session is set to published

Please note that the schedule builder portal interface has a graphics header that displays session dates for scheduled sessions, as well as an On-Demand option for sessions without time slots as shown below. This is a useful way to sort between scheduled sessions and view sessions on specific dates. 

Editing Existing Sessions To Change To On-Demand Content

When adding new sessions, making them on-demand is as simple as not adding time slots to the sessions, but what if you need to convert existing sessions to on-demand? Event Cloud makes this easy with bulk in-line editing.

1. Navigate to the admin portal
2. Select Sessions
3. Select All Sessions
4. Use the box in the upper left-hand corner to select all Sessions.
5. Once you have selected your sessions, click on the time slot field for one session, and change it to --empty--
6. Now click anywhere outside that field, and the system will prompt you with a message notifying you that you are about to edit this field for all selected sessions. Hit the green continue button, and your edits will be completed.

Don't forget to hit save when you are done! For more information on editing sessions, you can visit this article. If the video does not appear after setting up the on-demand content. Feel free to make sure Allow Watch Video is enabled for the session type.
