Co-Organizer / Alt-Host / Panelist

Add a co-organizer, alternative host, or panelist to your Zoom or GoToWebinar event in AEvent so your support team can handle live engagement on your events.

If you are using Zoom Meetings / Webinars or GoToWebinar, we natively support adding a Co-Organizer / Alternative Host / Panelist at the time in which your Campaign is scheduled.

So your Evergreen Campaign will always have your Event Support added to handle live engagement on your Like-Live Events.

It isn't a requirement for your Like-Live Zoom or GoToWebinar Events; however, as an SOP, we do recommend it!

Adding a Co-Organizer for GoToWebinar

Adding a Co-Organizer to a GoToWebinar is exceptionally easy. You can enter any name / email that you wish to invite as a Co-Organizer.

When your campaign is used to schedule a webinar, whether a one-time or a recurring, your Co-Organizer will automatically receive a special Join Event email with their Join Link.

Your Co-Organizer does NOT need the account credentials (GoToWebinar) to attend the webinar as a Co-Organizer, as long as the link is used from the email.

(You can also retrieve the Co-Organizer join link by accessing your Event Support Portal)

Adding an Alternative Host or Panelist for Zoom

Zoom Co-Host - To add an Alternative Host to your Zoom Webinar or Meeting, your Alternative Host needs to be a member of the same Zoom Business account (as an additional Member).

When you have additional users within your Zoom account, they are accessible when accessing the Co-Host menu.

If you do not see anyone listed here, please make sure they are a member of the same account / Zoom Plan.

Once you select an Alternative Host here and this Campaign is scheduled, your Alternative Host will receive an email confirmation from Zoom.
​

It is imperative that your Alternative Host uses this email Join Link when accessing the Automated Event.

Zoom Panelist - You can enter any name / email that you wish to invite as a Panelist to a Zoom Webinar. When your campaign is used to schedule a Zoom webinar, whether a one-time or a recurring one, your panelist will automatically receive a special Join Event email with their Join Link.

NOTE: A Zoom Panelist can help moderate the live chat with attendees, however a Panelist doesn't have the power to remove any attendees.
​

Promote panelists to co-host automatically: if you turn on Promote to Co-Host in your Zoom Panelist settings, AEvent promotes every panelist to co-host the moment they join, even if they are on a different Zoom account. As a co-host they can also remove attendees. See How to Automatically Promote Panelists to Co-Host (Any Zoom Account).
