"Flow Webinar Toolbar" - The Webinar Management Station
Access All the Tools in One Place

Last Update 8 天前

For a long time, Flow provided a separate set of individual controls to start/end and manage the webinars. Some were grouped, but the rest were somewhat scattered.
Now, all the tools are available under one unit - a Toolbar - with which you can manage the webinars, moderate them, present them, and view them with ease.
The Toolbar Hides Automatically when you are not using it.

The LOGIC behind the New Toolbar

The new toolbar layout prioritizes the roles in the webinar room and then groups and allocates them per specific groups. For instance, in a webinar room, there are hosts/moderators (hosts with moderation only) and presenters. The grouping makes their tasks easier, and also makes it easier for them to memorize each button and what its allocated tasks would be.
How Do I Enable the New Layout?
At this point we are not forcing you to enable the New Layout as you may have used to the old one. However, you can enable it and use it whenever you needed. Here is how:

- Click the Settings gear in the upper left corner of the webinar room
- Toggle the "New Layout" to the ON position (toggle right)
- That's it!
- To change it back to the old layout, click the Settings gear on the toolbar (on the right) > toggle the "Ney Layout" to the OFF position (toggle left).
Host's and Moderator's Tools
- Initialization Tools: Start the Webinar/End the Webinar
- Moderator's Tools (Before the Event): Participant Management, Invite Guests (on the fly), AV Controls Hub (manage A/V for all hosts/presenters - used during rehearsals, to bring them on/off air, and remote control), Record, and Execute the main items from the Storyboard (Add/Edit/Remove/Play media modules)
Note: These tools can be used during the event as well - Moderator's Tools (During the Event): Chat/Q&A/Notifications, and Media Tools (microphone/webcam/screen share)
