Start and Administer (Moderate) a Live Event

To start and administer, or moderate, a live event, you must have Live Event user privileges and be signed-in as the Live Event user.

Note	•	For appliances running Release 5.3.7 and later, multiple Live Event users can log in. When multiple
		Live Event users log in, Live Event draft preview is not supported.
	•	For appliances running Release 5.3, only one person (the author) should be signed-in as the active
		Live Event user. Sharing the author's credentials to allow multiple people to sign-in and administer
		the event is not a supported configuration.

When you are signed-in as the Live Event user, you can use the Live Event Administration page to turn On the live event stream. Then, after the stream is started:

•Viewers can watch the live event in real time through Cisco Show and Share.

•You can administer special features as the event moderator.

–Did you activate the “Question and Answer” feature when you prepared the live event draft? If so, viewers can submit questions for the presenters to answer. You, as the event moderator, can pre-screen the questions for the presenters before they respond.

–Did you activate the “polling” feature when you created the live event draft? If so, you can run an ad-hoc survey spontaneously during the live event. Or, if you prepared an audience survey and saved it as part of the draft, you can run that survey during the live event. Viewers can use Cisco Show and Share to submit their answers to the survey questions.

–Did you activate the “slide show” feature when you created the live event draft? And did you upload a files or a ZIP archive that contains sequentially numbered JPEG copies of presentation slides for the live event? If so, you can sync the slide deck to the event in real time. (The slideshow feature is only supported for DME live events.)

•You can invite additional viewers after the event has started by clicking the Share tab to send a URL or an email invitation. However, only viewers that have been granted access during Publish a Live Event Listing can access the live event. See the “Publish a Live Event Listing” section on page 8-12.
