Each of the four event stages — Event Announcement, Virtual Lobby, Live Broadcast, and Post-Event — has its own set of styling and content options in the Configuration Page.

Event Announcement

The Event Announcement is the first thing attendees see — the page that’s live before your event begins.
  • Text Content: Set the Title, Subtitle, and Text Color.
  • Background Color: Choose a solid color or a gradient.
  • Media Backgrounds: Add a video or image background using a public URL.
  • Visual Effects: Adjust opacity and blend mode to control how your background color and media interact.
What counts as a “public URL”? It needs to be a direct link to the media file itself — one that ends in a file extension like .mp4, .jpg, or .png, and that loads the raw file the instant it’s opened, with no sign-in and no page around it.

A YouTube link won’t work here. A YouTube URL doesn’t point to a video file — it points to a webpage that loads a full player, ads, and JavaScript around the video. Coresee needs to fetch the actual file directly, not render a webpage, so YouTube (and similar sites like Vimeo) can’t be used as a background source.

To get a working link, host the file somewhere that serves direct file access — for example, a cloud storage bucket (like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage) with public read access enabled, or a CDN. Opening the link in an incognito browser window is a quick way to check: if the file plays or downloads immediately with no login or page around it, it will work as a background.

Virtual Lobby

The Virtual Lobby is where attendees land and enter their details just before the broadcast begins.

Form settings

  • Fields: Set the form title and the information attendees must provide to join.
  • Passcode: Optionally require a passcode to join, for controlled access.
  • Appearance: Customize the form’s overall style and layout.

Text & visuals

  • Content: Define the lobby’s Title and Subtitle.
  • Background: Same background options as the Event Announcement stage — solid color, gradient, or media background.

Live Broadcast

Live Broadcast is the main event page, shown once you start streaming. Chat settings, configured alongside it, control how attendees interact during the broadcast.

Live Broadcast

Live Broadcast is the main event page, shown once you start streaming.
  • Title Visibility: Toggle the title on or off, with styling options for when it’s shown.
  • Header Styling: Customize the title text, background color, and border radius.
  • Branding: Add a logo to the header. Paste a publicly available URL.
  • Player Settings: Adjust the border radius of the media player.
  • Background Options: Set a solid background color or a gradient.
Unlike Event Announcement, Virtual Lobby, and Post-Event, Live Broadcast doesn’t support a video or image media background — only solid color and gradient options are available here.

Chat

These settings control how the chat panel looks and behaves during Live Broadcast — not how it’s moderated. For moderation, see Moderate Chat.
  • Availability: Turn Chat on or off.
  • Chat Label: Customize the chat title.
  • URL Filtering: Enable URL Blocking — links sent in chat are automatically replaced with a “Link Removed” message.
  • Visual Styling: Customize the chat’s background, border, and text colors.

Post-Event & downloads

Post-Event is what attendees see once the broadcast ends. It’s styled the same way as the Event Announcement stage.
Use the Post-Event screen to thank attendees, promote your next session, or highlight any calls to action.
