- Click the ‘Save my spot’ button to register.
- Enter your email address or social media login.

Once you register, you’ll have instant access to the event page (using the same URL), including the polls, chat, and Q&A. You can always log into your Crowdcast account and click “Joined Events” to access your registered events.

Polls are located in a tab just below the video feed. Your host may add a poll prior to the event or during a live session, so be sure to check this area periodically.
Questions & Answers are located in a tab just below the video feed. This is where you can submit any questions or leave a comment on a question. Once the host has answered the question, you will be able to view it in the answered tab. You can also up-vote questions that others have submitted.
Chat is located to the right of the video feed. This is a great place to say hello and introduce yourself before the event goes live. Chat lets you directly communicate with the host and other attendees before, during, and after an event.
