Before your event

Add speakers to your event

Speakers get into the green room by signing in with an email you approve. Add each speaker here first, then send them the presenter link.

1

Open Live Settings for your event

Go to your event page and click Live Settings. You will see the Approved Speakers card near the top of the page.

Host event page with the Live Settings link — Live Settings is where you manage speakers and turn on hosting.

2

Enter the speaker's name and email

Type the speaker's name in the first box and their email in the second box. Use the email they will actually sign in with.

The email must match exactly

OpenCEU checks the sign-in email against this list. A speaker who signs in with a different email, even a personal alias of the same address, lands in the waiting room as a regular attendee instead of the green room.

Approved Speakers card with a name field and an email field — One row per speaker. Add more rows for a panel.

3

Add more rows for extra speakers

Click Add speaker to add another row. Repeat for every speaker or co-host on the panel. Every approved speaker uses the same presenter link.

4

Save the speaker list

Click Save speakers. You will see a green Saved confirmation next to the button. Emails are saved in lowercase automatically.

Save speakers button showing a Saved confirmation — Save before you send the presenter link. Unsaved rows are not approved yet.

5

Copy the presenter link and send it

Click Copy presenter link. Send this link to every speaker you just added, by email or message. It is the same link for everyone on the list.

No organization needed

A speaker does not need to belong to your organization or have hosted before. They only need an OpenCEU account signed in with the exact email you saved here. See Add a speaker who has no account yet if they need to sign up first.
