How do I set up an online-only event?
To create a brand new online-only event, set the event location to "Online event" on the "Basic Info" page to access your Digital Links tools. Then disable PDF tickets and update the order confirmation with specific details for attendees (e.g., important dates or links to prep materials). Visit the Help Centre for step-by-step details on setting up a new online-only event.
How do I communicate this change to my attendees?
We recommend you email attendees through Eventbrite to let them know that you're taking your event online and what they can expect from your virtual event.
NOTE: If you are changing your location from live to online, Eventbrite won’t automatically send the link of the webinar or livestream to your attendees. You can include the link in your email to attendees or send it out at a later time.
How do I choose a webinar or livestream technology partner?
If you’d like to display your venue’s set up and background — or feature a performer — a video streaming service like Vimeo or Facebook Live is likely most appropriate.
Sometimes you’ll need to adopt a tool that prioritises event-goer participation. For this format we recommend Zoom.
Why am I not seeing the Digital Links option for my online event?
The Digital Links feature is only available for events created in our new event creation experience. Events created using our classic event creation experience aren’t supported. Instead, you can customise your confirmation emails and send emails to attendees with links to your online content.
