Whether you're hosting your first event or your hundredth, here are a few things you might not know about Crowdcast.
Hosting & Events
One event link for live and replay
Your event URL stays the same before, during, and after your event. Attendees can use the same link to join live or watch the replay.
People can register after your event has started
Attendees can still register while your event is live and, if replays are enabled, they'll be able to watch afterwards too.
Duplicate events to save time
Hosting recurring events? Duplicate an existing event to reuse your settings instead of starting from scratch.
Sessions never start automatically
Only a host can begin a live session, so you stay in control of when your audience joins.
Event pages live on
Your event page can continue to serve as a landing page for your replay and future viewers.
Private Events
Need exclusivity? Host private events and control who gets access with password protection.
Studio & Production
Use the Greenroom to prepare
Test your camera, microphone, screen sharing, and media before going live. You can also invite guest speakers to join you in the greenroom before the session begins.
Upload media ahead of time
Videos, slides, and other media can be uploaded before your event, making transitions smoother once you're live.
Download your recordings
After your event, you can download your recording to edit, repurpose, or publish elsewhere.
Audience & Engagement
Questions can be upvoted
Attendees can upvote questions during your event, making it easier to spot the topics your audience wants answered most.
Replay viewers stay in control
Viewers watching the replay can pause, skip ahead, and adjust the playback speed through the recording.
Chat lives with the replay
If chat is enabled and your event remains on an active paid plan, replay viewers can continue to see and interact in the chat alongside the recording.
Time-Stamped Comments
During the live in-browser event viewers can comment at specific timestamps, making it easy to reference key moments later!
Multi-Session Events
Polls are session-specific
Each session has its own polls, making it easy to tailor engagement for every broadcast.
CTAs are session-specific
Calls to Action are unique to each session, so you can promote different offers throughout a series.
Reminder emails are sent before each session
Attendees receive reminders for upcoming sessions, unless another session begins within 90 minutes of the previous one.
Registration & Email
Import registrations with CSV
CSV imports support up to 1,000 registrations per upload.
Custom registration fields
If you downgrade to a plan that doesn't include custom registration fields, those fields will be removed from your events.
Plans & Features
Need more attendees?
If your live attendance exceeds your plan's included attendee limit, your event won't stop. Additional attendees may incur overage charges depending on your plan.
Unlimited replay viewers
Replay views are unlimited across all plans.
Team seats and co-hosts are different
Team seats are assigned at the channel level, while event-level co-hosting is included at no additional cost.
Integrations

Automate with Zapier

Helpful Tips
Test before you go live
A quick test event using the same equipment and internet connection you'll use for your live event can help you catch issues before your audience does.
