This month, we added several new features to optimize webinar and event hosting functionality and maximize attendee engagement on BigMarker. Read on to catch up on everything we’ve shipped this January: 

‍

Security

‍

BigMarker is now SOC 2 Type 2 compliant

‍BigMarker has achieved an important security milestone by receiving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance in Security and Data Protection. This accreditation stands as a testament to our continuing efforts of providing our customers with the safest and most secure webinars and events possible.

New Customizations 

‍

Add emojis to your webinars and events for live reactions‍

Allow attendees to share real-time emoji reactions during your live broadcast. Now, attendees can send popular emoji reactions like applause and  thumbs up, for more meaningful conversations and engagement throughout your event.

Public chat now available  in the waiting room

Include your chat panel within the waiting room to allow attendees to communicate before your event goes live. Start the conversation by including a welcome prompt, or keep things casual and allow your attendees to introduce themselves. Either way, the waiting room chat panel can help foster conversation and build excitement before your event.

Now, you can include a customized support request form on your event pages to allow attendees to easily reach out with their most pressing questions during your event. Manage all requests on the backend of your virtual event site with ease for a seamless one-stop-shop approach to event hosting.
