Now that you've logged in, move your cursor to the 'Watch Live' button.
You have now entered the live stream section of the platform. The large window in the middle of the browser is where the live stream will play during the event.
If these items are included, the delegate 'chat' will be located to the right of the window and a 'Question' section lower down the page.
Above the live stream window, click the coloured icon that that reads 'ACCESS SPEAKER TOOLS'.

This specific area of the back-end, referred to as 'speaker tools', contains useful items that be accessed by speakers during the event.
The live stream can still be viewed in this area. The window is much smaller and can be paused at any time.
If delegates will be entering questions during the live stream, they will slowly start to appear in the 'Questions' section. You will be able to read the questions, the item it's connected to and the delegates name.
You have the option to write an answer to the question by clicking the 'Respond' button.
Once done, you may write your answer in the next window that has appeared.
At the bottom of the page, you will find the agenda list of every item for the event date.
If you run into any issues on the platform and require a quick response, you can use the pink 'chat' bubble at the bottom of the browser to speak with our concierge team.
