KollabiuMTo create a conference, set your handle in "Conference settings", tap "Create conference" in the "Conferences" section, and send participants the link from the "Invitations" tab. Here's each step in detail.
Set up your handle
Before your first conference, open "Conference settings" and set your "Conference handle": 3–30 characters, using Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens, and starting with a letter. It's used to build clean links like kollabium.live/your-handle/meeting.
If you change your handle later, your old links will stop working. So it's best to pick one and stick with it.
Create a conference
Tap "Create conference" in the "Conferences" section and fill in:
- "Title": required;
- "Description": what the meeting is about;
- "Link name": the last part of the web address. If you leave it empty, we'll generate one from the title;
- start date and time: in your time zone;
- "Guest access": "Name only" is the simplest option, since guests don't need an email address; with "Name and email", guests confirm their email with a code, so you know exactly who attended;
- "Where to go after the broadcast": for example, your website or a course page;
- "Status": "Draft" means only you can see it; "Scheduled" means participants can see the meeting and wait for it to open.
How to invite people to a conference?
On the conference page, open the "Invitations" tab.
With a link. Tap "Get guest link" and then "Copy". Share it in a chat, a channel, or a newsletter. If the link ended up in the wrong place, tap "Reissue link" and the old one will stop working.
With a list of emails. Paste addresses from a spreadsheet or upload a CSV or TXT file (up to 500 addresses), tap "Review list", and then "Send invitations". If there are more addresses than your room can hold, we'll warn you that not everyone will be able to join at the same time.
Past guests. Use "Invite guests from room" to invite people who have already attended your meetings and agreed to be invited again.
Who's who
- "Owner": the person who created the conference and runs everything.
- "Moderator": helps run the event by letting people in, bringing them on stage, and answering questions.
- "Speaker": presents on stage and can show their own presentation.
- "Listener" and "Guest": watch, write in the chat, and ask questions.
The easiest way to assign roles is right during the broadcast, through each participant's menu.
Who gets in
In the "Settings" tab:
- "Invited participants only": only people you've invited can join;
- "Require moderator approval to enter": guests wait in a waiting room, and you tap "Let in", "Let everyone in", or "Decline". Waiting time doesn't use up broadcast hours.
Open the room
At the scheduled time, tap "Open room". Participants will then see "Join live". Until then, they'll see a "Wait for opening" button.
