DATE: December 1, 2022

AUTHOR: The Session team

We just launched some of our biggest new features for webinars and small events!

Webinar Registration

We now support true registration for webinars!

New customizable registration page design - name, description, logo, and background
Streamlined registration and joining flows (and no more edge cases!)
Cleaned up customization panel with new tabs

The lobby is now an AV check, which all participants, hosts, and organizers see before entering a room or webinar.

New page design that mimics the background and colors from the room
Create your own name label that is visible to all participants on your video tile
- Name + Headline
- Avatar/logo
- Background color
Cleaner video/audio tile and controls

We've redesigned the look & feel for picking your theme during creation of a new webinar or room.

Try our Interactive Stream theme for webinars and large events up to 3,000 participants, of which only those presenting on the interactive stage will have audio and video.
Try our Workshop theme for presentations and all hands up to 100 participants, where everyone can join with audio and video, and engage on a moderated stage or in the participant gallery.
Try our Meetup theme for team meetings and discussion panels up to 100 participants, all of which display in a grid view with audio and video.

Some of our notable improvements and bug fixes include, but aren’t limited to:

Video tiles in the participant gallery are now taller so you can more easily see people’s faces
First time user onboarding guide is now updated in the product to help organizers navigate setting up a newly created webinar or room
The YouTube Music player now starts out as an expanded tile so everyone in the room can see the song that you are playing
