Ways to use the Broadcast mode vs. Group Call mode vs. Map Mode

Gatherly's different modes

Gatherly has 3 modes for users to take advantage of: Broadcast, Map, and Group Call.

 

Group Call (New!)

Group Call mode is a Zoom-style video conference. It's great for team events and smaller events where you'd like everyone to be on the same call.

A group call allows you to pull a group of people into a large "Gallery View" video conversation, where up to 100 people can engage and converse with each other.


If there are more than 100 users at your event, you won't be able to use the Group Call.
 

Start a Broadcast


A broadcast allows the host and/or admin to provide the guests mass communication. The broadcaster has the choice of either broadcasting to the floor or across all floors.


  • To start a broadcast, click the “Admin Controls” button on the top toolbar and click on “Start Broadcast”.

    • If you’d like to record your broadcast, select “Yes”. This recording will be saved on your Event Manager Account.


Start a Panel Broadcast


Starting a broadcast while in a huddle allows your whole huddle to broadcast alongside you.


  • Panelists may either be placed on “main stage” or “backstage”.

    • “Backstage” panelists are not seen by the audience but can easily join the "main stage" when it's time!

 

Map Mode (Default)


Map mode features spatial video chat, where users can walk around a virtual room by clicking on the Map in the top-right corner of the Gatherly platform.
When two or more users are in the same spot on the Map, they will automatically form a huddle (a video chat). There can be any number of huddles on the Map, and each huddle can have up to 20 users.
