Setting Up Other Webcast Services for Virtual Events

Setting Up Other Webcast Services for Virtual Events

If you use a third-party webcast platform instead of Zoho Meeting or Zoho Backstage OnAir, you can add external webcast links to your sessions and allow attendees to join directly from the event website.

Zoho Backstage supports both:

  • A single webcast link for all sessions
  • Different webcast links for each session

Alert
Host and co-host management is not available when using third-party webcast services. Session moderation and presenter management must be handled through the external webcast platform.
