Beekast is a tool that allows you to add interactivity and liven up meetings/events/training sessions through various types of activities (brainstorming, icebreakers, etc.), while also including presentations using other documents.
There are three ways to join a session:
When you arrive at the session, Beekast will automatically ask you to log in to access the content. The session owner chooses the login method, which applies to all participants.
There are three different identification methods on Beekast:
- Avatar: consisting of an animal and an adjective, this is an anonymous way to identify yourself in the session. You can select it randomly when you arrive at the session. Once the avatar has been selected, it cannot be changed.
- Username: allows you to pick the pseudonym of your choice as your identification for the session. You are free to decide whatever you want, so you can choose your first name, surname or initials, for example.
- Email: corresponds to identification with a Beekast account. It is therefore necessary to have a Beekast account, even a free one, to log in to the session.
If you are logged into your Beekast account, you will be automatically redirected to the session and identified without any further action on your part. If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to log in or create an account. This identification uses your first and last name and your image, as entered in your Beekast account.
Take part in a session
On Beekast, there are 2 scrolling modes for a session: the live scrolling mode and the self-paced scrolling mode.
With this mode, you can view the session and scroll through the slides independently. As long as the session is open (only the session owner can decide to open or close the session), you can log in at any time and participate in the activities at your own pace.
You can navigate through the session by clicking on the directional arrows at the bottom right of the screen.
Various tools are available directly in the Beekast session. The tools are located on the bar on the right-hand side of the screen. They allow you to interact and access information and documents that the facilitator has added to the session.
