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. Simulive takes the stress out of your events and allows hosts to focus on engagement.
Steps to set a Simulive event:
Firstly, create an event in your Sequel.io Admin Dashboard by choosing the "simulive" event type. Add the Title, Start Time, and Banner Image.
Next, upload your media. You can do this via the Media Hub or from files on your computer. 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.
Note: If you'd like to have bumpers and title slides, include these in your mp4 as you can only upload one file for simulive.
Click on "Settings" to configure the rest of your simulive event and you're set!
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! 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.
