SayPro During the Event: Tasks
Provide Support to Any Attendees Encountering Technical Issues with the Online Platform
1. Monitor Online Platform for Issues:
- Proactive Monitoring: Continuously monitor the online platform for any reported issues, including audio, video, or connectivity problems. Check for common technical difficulties (e.g., participants unable to join rooms, screen-sharing malfunctions, or session disruptions).
- Real-Time Assistance: Have a dedicated team available to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues as soon as they arise. Make sure that issues are addressed promptly to avoid disruptions to the event.
2. Provide Clear Contact Information:
- Display Contact Info Prominently: Ensure that participants know how to reach the support team if they encounter technical issues. Provide support contact information on the event platform, in event emails, and on printed materials. This could be an email address, phone number, or a live chat function.
- Dedicated Help Desk: Set up a virtual help desk within the online platform (if possible) where participants can ask for assistance in real-time. This can include chatrooms or direct messaging.
3. Respond to Technical Support Requests:
- Acknowledge Issues Quickly: When a participant reports a technical issue, acknowledge it quickly. Let them know you are working on resolving the problem and provide an estimated timeline for fixing the issue.
- Offer Step-by-Step Instructions: If the issue is something common (e.g., audio issues, video not showing, or connection problems), provide quick troubleshooting steps. This could be done via email, live chat, or through announcements. For example, guide them to:
- Recheck their internet connection.
- Refresh the page or rejoin the session.
- Check their microphone, camera, or speaker settings.
- Escalate Major Issues: If the issue is more complex or requires higher-level technical intervention, immediately escalate it to the technical team or platform support team for resolution.
4. Provide Troubleshooting for Common Issues:
- Audio/Video Issues: Guide participants through checking their device settings, confirming that their microphone and camera are turned on, and ensuring they are using the correct device for the event.
- Connectivity Problems: Help attendees who are experiencing poor internet connections. Suggest they try moving closer to their router, using a wired connection, or switching to a different network. Provide an alternative option (e.g., joining via mobile if possible).
- Access Issues (Login or Room Access): If a participant cannot access the event or specific rooms, make sure they are using the correct link or code. Verify their registration status and ensure they are signed into the correct platform account.
5. Ensure Availability of Support Channels:
- Live Chat or Help Desk: Ensure that a live chat function is available on the online platform where attendees can submit questions or report technical difficulties. For larger events, you might also have a dedicated support channel on social media (e.g., Twitter or a dedicated event hashtag) to provide quick responses.
- Phone or Email Support: Have a backup communication channel in place, such as a phone number or email for attendees who cannot resolve the issue through the platform’s live chat.
6. Follow Up with Attendees:
- Confirm Issue Resolution: After resolving the technical problem, follow up with the attendee to confirm that the issue is fully resolved and that they can continue participating in the event.
- Offer Additional Assistance: If they are still encountering issues, offer further support or an alternative solution (e.g., directing them to a different session or providing an alternative device to use).
7. Document Issues for Future Reference:
- Track Technical Problems: Keep a record of recurring technical issues so you can identify patterns or areas of improvement. For example, if many participants experience the same issue with the online platform, you may need to communicate with the platform provider for a long-term solution.
- Provide Feedback for Improvement: At the end of the event, collect feedback from attendees regarding their technical experience. Use this feedback to improve future events and reduce the likelihood of issues occurring again.
8. Prepare for High-Volume Issues:
- Allocate Extra Resources for Peak Times: Anticipate times when technical issues may spike, such as at the start of the event or during popular sessions. Increase support staff or allocate more resources during these periods to provide quicker responses.
- Have a Backup Plan: In the event of a major platform outage or widespread issues, have a contingency plan in place. This might involve switching to an alternative platform, moving to a backup server, or communicating with participants about temporary disruptions and how long the fix will take.
9. Offer Clear Instructions for Rejoining Sessions:
- Session Rejoining: If a participant is kicked out of a session due to technical difficulties, provide clear and easy instructions for rejoining. Include detailed steps such as logging back into the platform, using the same link, or going to a specific URL for re-entry.
- Post-Event Recording Access: If the issue cannot be resolved immediately, inform the attendee that the session will be recorded and provide access to the recording after the event so they can catch up.
10. Monitor Virtual Event Platforms Continuously:
- Ensure Platform Stability: Constantly monitor the stability and performance of the event platform to prevent downtime or interruptions. If there’s a platform-wide issue, work with the platform provider to address it immediately, and inform attendees about the situation.
- Notify Attendees of Platform Maintenance: If there is any planned maintenance or known issues, inform attendees ahead of time to minimize disruptions. If issues arise during the event, provide regular updates on progress until the issue is resolved.
By providing timely and efficient technical support, you ensure that attendees can fully participate in the event without being hindered by technical difficulties. The goal is to minimize disruption, resolve issues promptly, and maintain a smooth experience for all virtual participants.
