How to add host/speakers to specific Webinar Session and send invitation emails?

There are three ways to add speakers to sessions as described in methods 1 to 3.

Note:

• Once added speaker email, the organizer cannot edit or change the email address.

• Adding speakers will not trigger speaker invitation emails automatically. The organizer will need to send out the speaker invitation email manually by clicking on Long Press To Send as described in the steps below.

• If the speaker has more than one email address, suggest asking in advance which email will be the one to log in to the event as a speaker.

• Only 12 speakers can be added in a single session.|
