Networking Opportunities. Platforms like LinkedIn offer post-webinar spaces for attendees to connect and collaborate.
Brand Visibility. Regular posts on social media contribute to building anticipation, recognition, and overall brand visibility for your webinar.
How to add the Social Media components:
Click the Components on the toolbar on the top menu next to Interface Builder.
Scroll down and find Facebook, X Platform (formerly known as Twitter), LinkedIn, or Social Sharing then click Add.
Component: Facebook
The Facebook component allows the presenter to display a Facebook page to be displayed to the audience. This can be a company page, your professional page, or a user group page. Attendees can interact with the Facebook page directly from the webinar.
How to configure:
Show Posts from this Facebook Page URL: To get the Facebook page URL for display, go to the page on Facebook. Right-click on the page name in the top right corner, and copy the URL from your browser's address bar (see sample image below).
Note:
Make sure your Facebook page is published and set to public. If it's hidden, you can't copy the URL. Also, avoid trying to get the URL in full screen; press F11 (Windows) or command + shift + F (Mac) to reveal the URL.
Show Cover Photo: Choose this option to display your page's cover photo, a professional banner designed for Facebook timelines.
Show Share Button: Let audience members add a personalized message to links before sharing on their timeline, within groups, or via Facebook Message to friends.
Show Friend's Face: This option shows the profile pictures of friends who have liked the page. The user must be logged into their Facebook account for the pictures to appear.
Show Page Posts: From the webinar, you can use page posts to promote your page. This reaches an extended audience beyond those who like your page.
