    Hi Cvent Community! We are here with another edition of Tip of the Week. Cvent's new Standard Registration, Flex, may already be familiar to you, but we wanted to call out two essential widgets that you can use on your Post-Registration pages to support the new normal – VIRTUAL!

    Your event website and registration process may remain similar to live events or only have slight changes, but we want to encourage you to use your Post-Registration pages more than you ever have before. Along with Event and Session Emails to keep consistent communication, your attendees are looking for a centralized spot to access the virtual event details and other pertinent information.

    • Custom Link Widget: Through a recent enhancement, you now have the ability to add a Custom Link widget, which displays as a button, on your Post-Registration pages. This is key to adding the URL to your virtual provider in a clear and concise view.
      • Once the widget is added through the Flex Site Designer, you have the option to customize the Link Text, URL, and if the page will open in a new tab or current tab.
      • You can get creative with anything you may need to add as a URL in addition to video, and you also can customize the look and feel with sizing, alignment, borders, colors, and more.
    • Live Video via Video Widget: An additional recent enhancement is the ability to play live videos via the Video Widget in your Flex event. The Video Widget was already a valuable tool to embed company stories, promotional videos and footage from past events, testimonials, and more, but take it to the next level by streaming live!
      • Add customization to the widget by entering a title and description along with URL in the Site Designer.
      • Currently, the Video widget supports links from Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and Vimeo.

    What other features in your Flex events have you used to support the shift to virtual? Have you already used in the Video Widget in a unique way that you can share? Please let us know any feedback you may have on these widgets, along with others, that you find beneficial during these times. As always, let us know any questions. #CventTip
