Open and share a session

Open and share a session

At its creation, a session is open by default, which means your participants can have access directly to the session.

This can be verified directly from the Share Button in the top right corner of the session:





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

Invite your participants to join your session

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.


Public link 

You can:

  • Either copy and paste the public link and use your communication channel to provide it. 

  • Or send an invitation directly from this page. 


 



Fill in the email addresses of your participants separated by a comma, then click on Send Invitations.



Once they obtain the link, participants simply need to launch it from their browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) to join the session.


The session code


Copy and share the session code, which your participants can use in two environments:

First, when they are on the website https://my.beekast.com/signin on top of the screen, they will see a blue banner on top of the screen.



They can also use it to connect over the website https://www.beekast.live/ to join in a session.



The session code is a practical way of inviting your participants in situations where sharing a public link is more complicated.

It can be randomly generated as many times as wished by the owner of the session. At each new generation, the previous code is no longer valid.


Add co-faciliator

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

You just need to click on the +Add button, and the space to fill in the email addresses will appear, once all the email addresses you just need to click on Add. They will receive an invitation directly in their mailbox.



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”.
