SayPro Tasks: Virtual Platform Setup & Testing
Goal:
Ensure that the virtual environment for remote participants is fully functional, interactive, and seamlessly integrated into the SayPro website.
1. Platform Selection & Integration
- Choose a reliable virtual platform (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or another solution that supports integrations with web platforms).
- Embed access points for virtual sessions directly into the SayPro website (e.g., registration portal, event agenda).
- Integrate API or widgets (where available) to allow live video access, participant authentication, and content sharing from within the website.
2. Configure Key Features
- Breakout Rooms:
- Enable and configure breakout rooms for workshops or small group discussions.
- Assign facilitators/moderators to manage each room.
- Digital Content Sharing:
- Upload and test presentation files, videos, PDFs, or links participants will need.
- Ensure screen sharing permissions are enabled for speakers and hosts.
- Chat and Q&A Tools:
- Activate live chat, Q&A, and polling features for audience interaction.
3. Pre-Event Testing
- Test All Technical Functions:
- Audio and video quality
- Screen sharing and content display
- Breakout room transitions and participant movement
- Cross-Device Compatibility:
- Verify functionality on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- Ensure smooth performance across browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
- User Simulation:
- Conduct a mock event with internal staff or volunteers to simulate real user experience and identify issues early.
4. Security and Privacy Settings
- Enable Waiting Rooms or Password Protection for all sessions to control access.
- Assign Co-Hosts or Moderators to manage technical flow and participant behavior.
- Ensure Compliance with privacy and data collection policies.
5. Provide User Support Tools
- Add a “Tech Help” section on the SayPro website with:
- Step-by-step instructions for joining sessions
- Platform requirements (browser, internet speed, etc.)
- Contact information for live tech support
6. Final Go-Live Readiness Check
- Re-test all features 24–48 hours before the event.
- Confirm backups are in place (e.g., alternate meeting links or servers).
- Prepare facilitators with platform training and quick reference guides.
