Sequel.io's Simulive feature allows you to play pre-recorded content as though it was live. This feature is perfect for webinars, online courses, or any event where you want to simulate a live experience. Here are the steps to use this feature:
Firstly, create an event in your Sequel.io Admin Dashboard. Add the Title, Start Time, and Banner Image.
Next, upload your media. You can do this via the Media Hub. If you have an existing Replay that you'd like to use, you can also select it from the Media Hub and link it to your Virtual Stage.
Once your media is uploaded and ready, set your event to Simulive by toggling it on in the Media tab of your event. This will ensure that your prerecorded content will be played as though it was live.
Sit back and enjoy a flawless simulated live experience. Your audience will interact with your content as if it were happening in real-time and you can moderate the event chat, Q&A, and Polls, the same way you do for live events.
When an event is set as simulive, it will go live automatically and play the media assigned to it. Once the media reaches the end, the event will automatically end — all without a Host! Just note, once a simulive event has gone live, a Host cannot end the simulive and join the stage to be live.
A few common uses cases for our simulive feature are the following:
You have an external speaker who is unavailable at the day and time you are schedule to host your webinar. Pre-record the session and set it as simulive as if it was live!
You want to reach a global audience that you would not be able to before due to timezones.
