Backstage

New

• Live Q&A
  The option to remove moderation from Q&A has been added.
  Text is now live in Q&A questions for copying, links can now be added to questions/comments and will open in a new browser tab.
  Coming soon: Live onscreen questions will be displayed to the audience in-time with the live stream, compensating for the natural delay. Onscreen questions will be included in on demand stream recordings.
  
  
• Studio
  You can now add a custom background to your steams, containing your organisation or sponsor logos, or any other graphic items.
  Invitation links to speakers can now be generated and shared in advance, prior to the room being opened.
  
  
• Emails
  User metadata can now be used in email subjects, to personalize how you address your recipients.
  Coming soon: Add to calendar links will soon be available to be added to emails, using pre-filled iCal download files or Google calendar slots.
  
  
• Public registration
  Depending on the registration process, users can now choose from multiple email templates, to send confirmations out to users that sign up for the workspace via the registration page.
  
  
• New preview app button
  Coming soon: You'll no longer need to go through the participant profile in Backstage to access the app. We're adding a new easy-access "Preview app" button to the workspace menu.
