Create a Webinar: Interface Builder

The Interface Builder allows you to customize your viewer’s experience. From this section, you can add components such as live Q&A, group chat, surveys, resources, and much more. The user-friendly tool allows you to easily adjust the design and layout of your webinar.

Presentation Mode

The Presentation Mode option in Interface Builder is designed to allow the presenters to easily select how the webinar will be presented. When opening Interface Builder, the Presenter Mode pop-up will be displayed. 

Selecting "Audio Only (Presenter webcams disabled)" - the default - will result in the following configuration, where the audience can control the Media Player and the presenters are not allowed to use their webcams.

Selecting "Webcam and Audio" will result in the following configuration, where the audience can control the Media Player and see the presenter's webcams. The presenters are allowed to broadcast their webcams to the audience.

Selecting "Enable Screen Sharing" will turn on the screen sharing functionality within the Presenter Console. In order to share your screen during a live or recorded webinar, this option needs to be selected. By default, screen share is disabled for all webinars.

Components and Building the Interface

Within the Interface Builder, you can arrange the components of your webinar by selecting the window and dragging it to the desired position.

Additionally, clicking on the window will allow you to resize the window. To resize the window, click on one of the white boxes and drag it to the desired length.

Use the blue and red dotted lines along the side to guide you. You cannot move any components beyond the red dotted line.

In the Components menu, there are a list of components that you can add to the interface. 

• Hover over each icon for a description of each component.
• Double click on a component in the menu to add it to the interface.
• To configure a component, click on the gear icon  on the top right of the component box.
• Remove a component by clicking the remove icon . 

Most of the components have three sections: Customize, Properties, and Arrange.
