Welcome to Crowdcast Knowledge Nuggets, a fun-sized collection of handy tips, surprising facts, and little-known quirks about Crowdcast! Whether youโ€™re a seasoned host or just getting started, these nuggets will help you navigate the platform like a pro.

๐ŸŽค Did You Know?

  1. Patreon Integration: Monetize your events effortlessly! Crowdcast integrates with Patreon, making it easy to host exclusive content for your patrons. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

  2. Podcasters' Dream: Download your event video, extract the audio, and edit it for your podcast. Plus, share the full video with your audience! ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

  3. Custom Fields Beware! If you downgrade to a plan that doesnโ€™t include custom registration fields, any fields on your existing events will vanish into the digital void. Poof! ๐Ÿ’จ

  4. Stream to Multiple Platforms: Reach wider audiences by multistreaming your event to YouTube, Facebook, and moreโ€”all at the same time! The Pro plan allows multistreaming to 1 location. Business plan allows multistreaming to 3 locations.๐ŸŒŽ

  5. Multistream Magic โ€“ If you switch from a Business plan to Pro, any existing events that have 2+ multistreams will stay intact. No sudden disappearances! ๐ŸŽฉ

  6. Bulk Import Cap โ€“ Importing via CSV? Keep it under 1000 per upload or risk sending your file into exile. ๐Ÿ“‚

  7. CTAs Stay Put โ€“ In a multi-session event, CTAs do not carry over from session to session. Each session gets a fresh start! ๐ŸŽฌ

  8. Room for the Masses โ€“ Crowdcast can host over 1000 live attendees, scaling up to 3000 live with a small overage charge of $0.15 per extra attendee. Replays? Unlimited and always free! ๐Ÿ“บ

  9. Link Love โ€“ Share a replay? The same event link works for live and replay. No need to send a new linkโ€”just let the magic happen! ๐Ÿ”„

  10. Everlasting Chats โ€“ Your event chat sticks around forever (well, as long as your on a paid plan, and you don't hide your chat). No vanishing conversations here! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

  11. Multi-Session Email Reminders โ€“ Unless you turn off this feature, the 10-minute reminder emails are sent before each session unless another session starts within 90 minutes. If that happens, only the first session gets a reminder! ๐Ÿ“ฉ

  12. Fast Forward FTW โ€“ Attendees can fast-forward through replays. So if they want to skip to the good part, they totally can! โฉ

  13. No Auto-Start โ€“ Crowdcast doesnโ€™t auto-start sessions. The host always gets the final call. Youโ€™re in control! ๐Ÿšฆ

  14. Landing Page Power โ€“ Even if your event is over, the event page stays live. Keep it as an evergreen asset! ๐Ÿƒ

  15. No-Panic Registration โ€“ Attendees can register even after an event starts. Itโ€™s never too late to join the fun! ๐Ÿƒ

  16. Stay on the Right Plan โ€“ Exceed your planโ€™s attendee limit? Your event wonโ€™t shut down, but you may need to upgrade to keep the party going in your next event. ๐ŸŽ‰

  17. Polls for Engagement: Need quick audience feedback? Use built-in polls to keep engagement high and tailor your content on the fly. ๐Ÿ“Š

  18. Polls Are Session-Specific โ€“ Just like CTAs, polls donโ€™t carry over between sessions. Keep those questions fresh! ๐Ÿ“Š

  19. Video Uploads? Yup! โ€“ Crowdcast is all about live and replay experiences. If you need to show a pre-recorded video, share your screen or share a YouTube/Vimeo/Wistia link in the studio.

  20. Zapier = Automate Everything โ€“ Use Zapier to connect Crowdcast with thousands of apps. Think automated emails, CRM updates, and more!

  21. Interactive Q&A: Attendees can upvote questions, ensuring the most popular ones get addressed first. No more scrolling through endless comments! โ“

  22. Custom Branding: Make your event look and feel like your own by customizing your registration pages and event branding. ๐ŸŽจ

  23. Event Duplication: Save time by duplicating past events! Your settings and structure will copy over, making setup a breeze. ๐Ÿ”„

  24. Private Events: Need exclusivity? Host private events and control who gets access with password protection. ๐Ÿ”

  25. Green Room for Guests: Give your speakers a chance to prepare before going live with a private green room. There's even a backstage chat, separate from the public chat. ๐ŸŽค

  26. Instant Replay Links: Attendees can rewatch sessions immediately after they endโ€”no waiting required! ๐Ÿ”

  27. Time-Stamped Comments: During the live in-browser event viewers can comment at specific timestamps, making it easy to reference key moments later! โณ
