1.3. The Onstream Webinars Dashboard

The Account Center

There are two primary “components” to Onstream Webinars; The Account Center and the Virtual Room where your actual meetings and webinars take place.

The Account Center is where you will go to create rooms, schedule and manage your meetings or events, invite participants in advance, pull usage reports, retrieve recordings as well as manage all event-related logistics and options.

Exploring The Dashboard: A Quick Overview

Think of the DASHBOARD as the “Home Page” of your Account Center. This will provide you with a quick listing of your current and future sessions, messages, address book as well as one-click buttons to setup a new meeting.

NEW MEETING: should be used for sessions involving larger groups of people or sessions where you’re not quite sure how many participants you’ll have. NEW MEETING provides you with all of the options you’re looking for in regards to setting up a scheduled session, scheduled web event (webinar) as well as more advanced settings to customize each meeting or event to suit your needs.

MEET NOW: is designed for 1-on-1 on-demand sessions or smaller, known groups. When clicking on MEET NOW, Onstream will instantly create a virtual meeting room and log you into it.

RECORDINGS: will provide you a list of all of your recorded sessions as well as provide you with a means of editing (trimming) your recordings. You will also be able to pull a report of whose viewed each recording.

MESSAGES: allows you toe send and receive messages, similar to web-based email.

ADDRESS BOOK: allows you to easily manage your contacts in order to easily invite them into sessions or to send them a message.

STATISTICS: will provide you with a graph of your usage statistics. Each dot on the graph can be clicked on to view the specifics of your event. All stats can be exported via CSV file.
