Managing Sessions

Sessions have the most complex settings of any element within Amego, but often most of these are set in the EMS system that is upstream from Amego in your events architecture.

Session settings overview

Each setting is explained below but note that if the setting exists in your EMS you should make the edit there, as any change in Amego that is integrated to your EMS will be overwritten.

Basics

Format: Amego supports 6 different session types:

  • Video: embeds a video player for on demand video
  • Audio: embeds an audio player for on demand audio
  • In Person: a normal live event session (most common)
  • Live Broadcast: a live video stream - talk to support to set this up
  • Live Interactive: a zoom or google meet type session
  • Meeting: a 1:1 or small structured meeting
