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:
Feature | Presenter link | Permalink |
---|---|---|
Sample format | https://app.octocue.com/clicker?code=12345 | https://app.octocue.com/permalink/myshow |
Access control | Always gives direct access to show | Can be re-directed to holding page when required |
Sharing | Can be emailed, or presenters can log in using show code on https://octocue.com | Needs to be emailed to presenter |
Link creation | Always available, created during account registration | Must be manually created by user |
Best for | Quickly giving access to presenters, system testing | Distributing 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
