Similar to Annotation links, webinar hosts can use External links to display a button on stage for the audience to click in real-time. You can set up a link to any page you'd like.
Note
Only hosts can create, display, and remove External links. Panelists and audience members can't add links to the stage.
Access this from the Event room by clicking the cursor icon.
In the window that opens, add button text and a URL. When you're ready, click "Add to stage."
Tip
Button text can be up to 100 characters, and the URL can be up to 255 characters. Make sure your URL starts with https:// so it opens correctly for your audience.
Once on stage, the link will display in the top right-hand corner. When clicked, it will take audience members to a new tab. There can only be one External link on stage at a time, but the host can create and display multiple External links throughout a webinar.
When you're ready to remove the link from the stage, head back into the External links form and click "Remove from stage."
External links appear only during the live event. They aren't added to the on-demand recording. To keep a link on the video, add an Annotation link to the recording in your Wistia account.
Note
There can be one External link displayed at a time. After you remove the current one from the stage, you can add a new one.
