General Guide

Welcome to Welcome

Use this compatibility checker to ensure your computer will function properly while using Welcome. This checker looks at your browser, mic, camera, audio outputs, and internet connectivity. Note that Welcome works best when your device is not using other high bandwidth apps.

Basic Requirements

  • Refreshing the page solves many common issues.
  • VPNs, firewalls, ad-blocking extensions, and other IT security - Depending on your setup you may have issues seeing/hearing the event. If you are just joining as an attendee (not a speaker or producer) you can view the event on a mobile device to avoid these issues.
  • Please have a stable internet connection with at least 50 mbps download speed and 25mbps upload speed.
  • Mobile/tablet and Safari are supported but have limited functionality (no Breakout Rooms or Lounges for instance). Chrome on a desktop/laptop is strongly recommended for the best experience in your event.

More details and troubleshooting tips can be found here.

Jumping into an Event

Event Registration

Jumping in is a similar experience across all users. If the event is using OAuth methods such as Gmail, LinkedIn, or Outlook clicking any of them will accelerate the registration process. If you do not have one of these methods available you can register using your email instead.

Registering with SSO

Registering with Email

With email registration, you have two options available to you. You can either log in with your password or you can use a passwordless login that sends you a one-use click link to bypass the password requirement.

Passwordless Login

Login with Password

Please note that you will be locked out for a 15-minute period if you input your password incorrectly 10 times.

Entering and Navigating in the Event

Entering an event

Navigating the main stage and chat functions (public chat, DMs, Help chat, People tab, etc)

Attendee Experience

Nothing is more important than the attendees' experience of an event. The Welcome platform was designed with the attendee in mind. We created a platform that allows for an immersive experience by creating tools that will allow the event producers and speakers to engage with the audience beyond just being a talking heads. Attendees can join through desktop on Chrome (our recommendation), Firefox, Edge, Safari, or via mobile (mobile users will not be able to join anything that requires a camera and mic; Breakouts, Lounges, and the GR/stage).

More details can be found for the Attendee Here.

Speaker Experience

Speakers are the stars of the show and topics are what drive attendees to the event. A seamless speaker experience greatly influences the event's flow and overall experience. We've created a Green Room experience that will allow speakers to be prepared, communicate, and execute a jaw-dropping event.

More details can be found in the Speaker here.

Producer Experience

Producers are essential to ensuring events run smoothly and look jaw-dropping. In the Control Room, producers have the ability to Open/Close Doors, add speakers to the stage, play pre-recorded videos/music, add custom overlays, open polls, and more! We strongly recommend that producers join the event using Chrome.
