While we’ve designed revnt to be as intuitive as possible, there are some features that are entirely unique to our platform, so we want to make sure you’re introduced to them and comfortable with how they work.
The Basics
When you first enter your event, you’ll see a screen fairly similar to the screenshot below.
On the left will be your video display. As an attendee you will simply see the stream of the current session’s host (or perhaps a static welcome screen if no session is currently live).
Chat
On the right side of the screen are multiple ways to engage with other attendees:
Public chat rooms
Private chat rooms for each individual session
Direct messages with other participants
All of your chat conversations last beyond the live sessions themselves, so you can easily continue conversing with other hosts and attendees even after the live event has completed.
Message Types
There are multiple message types available in Chat, from sharing files to posting polls for people. Click "Type" in the Chat text box to see all the options.
Video Chat
You can also create a video chat within your Private Groups or Direct Messages by clicking the Camera icon next to the chat title.
Note: You cannot video chat with someone while also watching the live event.
Note-taking
We also offer a unique and exciting way to take notes. Every note that you take are time-stamped to each session, so you can easily jot down their thoughts while you are presenting (see image below).
When you return to your session later for review, each note will be synchronized to the event timeline so when you click on a specific note, the video jumps to the exact moment you took the note during your presentation for easy reference and context.
Bookmarks and Highlights
Along with taking notes, you can also highlight and bookmark their place at any time during the video presentation.
To highlight a particular point of the video content, simply click the star button on the bottom right-hand side of the video. To bookmark a particular point of the video content, simply click the bookmark button on the bottom right-hand side of the video. Your Highlights and Bookmarks will be synced to the timeline of the presentation.
Just as with notes, each highlight or bookmark will be synchronized to the event timeline, so when you click on a specific notation, the video jumps to the exact moment you made it.
If you need to leave the session for any reason, just click the red "Leave" button to be taken back to the main event landing page.
Audio and Video Settings
Before beginning your event, make sure to test your audio video. We recommend visiting https://webcammictest.com/ to check everything. Our platform will automatically select the system default audio and video options, but if you have connected a different camera, microphone, or headphones, make sure to click the small down arrows next to the Audio and Video buttons to view all potential sources.
Event Schedule and Navigating Sessions
If your event has multiple sessions, you will want to check times and descriptions for the events. You can view the entire schedule, and access your sessions, from the schedule dropdown:
If you are attending multiple sessions, you can “preselect” them beforehand (as seen here for Breakout Discussions), which will prompt you to move to the next session. We won’t automatically remove you from your current session).
