Share my session

Info
A session must be open in order to be accessible to participants. By default, a session is open when it is created.

You can check whether the status of your session is open or closed at any time, using the padlock icon at the top right of your session: 



Alert
Only the owner of the session can open or close the session

Invite your participants to join your session

You can invite your audience to join your session in 3 ways:
- by sending them the public link,
- using the session code, a 6-digit code

- or by displaying the session QR code.

Once in the session, you can invite your audience to access to it. For this you will need to provide the public link, the 6-digited code, or display the QR code of the session.


To find the public link for your session, click on the "Share" button in the top right-hand corner of your Beekast page. 

From the pop-up, you can:

1.  Either copy the link and use your own channel to share it with your audience.

2. Or send an email invitation directly from this page. Simply enter the email addresses of your participants separated by commas, then click on Send invitations. Participants will receive an email invitation with the link to join your session.



The session code

The session code is a 6-digit code that your participants can enter on the purple banner on my.beekast.com page or on the beekast.com page in order to join your session.
To find the session code, click on the "Share" button at the top right of your Beekast screen. From the pop-up, you can:
1. Copy the code
2. Change randomly the code


Info

At each new generation, the previous code is no longer valid as the public link.



The QR code

Participants with smartphones can also join a session simply by scanning a QR code.
To display the QR code, click on "QR code" on the right-hand side of the toolbar.


You can also add a slide with the QR code and the session code: to do this, click on "Add a slide" on the left and then on "Link and QR code".
Consult our article about the QR code HERE.

Close my session

At any moment, you can close your session, which will render it inaccessible to your audience. 
  1. Click on the button Share in the top right corner of the session.

  2. Activate the button “Close session”.


Add collaborator

From the menu that opens once you have clicked on the “Share” button, the owner can also add collaborators, to help them co-create and co-host the session.

You just need to:


1. Click on the Share button on the top right of the page
2. Then click on the +Add button,
3. The space to fill in the email addresses will appear
