Presenter links vs permalinks

If you're planning to distribute links to your presenters pre-show, you have the choice of sending presenter links, or permalinks. These two link types have different pros and cons:

FeaturePresenter linkPermalink
Sample formathttps://app.octocue.com/clicker?code=12345https://app.octocue.com/permalink/myshow
Access controlAlways gives direct access to showCan be re-directed to holding page when required
SharingCan be emailed, or presenters can log in using show code on https://octocue.comNeeds to be emailed to presenter
Link creationAlways available, created during account registrationMust be manually created by user
Best forQuickly giving access to presenters, system testingDistributing to presenters pre-show so you can control who can log in

You can find your presenter link by logging into OctoCue and heading to Show setup. It's always of the form

https://app.octocue.com/clicker?code=xxxxx

where xxxxx is your 5- (or 36-) character show code.

Permalinks need to be setup manually by logging in and selecting Permalinks from the main menu
