Prior to an event's start date, you may choose to not allow attendees to enter the event from the event landing page. This could be useful if you are still working on building your event space, branding, and other elements or if you'd prefer no attendees have access before the event starts.
To enable/disable the Enter Event Button:
- Log in to Goldcast Studio with your credentials.
- Click the hamburger icon
on the top left, and select the Events tab to get a list of all your events.
- From the Events list, click the event you want to edit.
- Navigate to Look & Feel using the left panel menu.
- Scroll to the Entering the Event section and navigate to the Experience section. By default it shows the Enter Event Button in an enabled state.
If you prefer to disable the Enter Event button for your attendees, click the toggle. This will disable the Enter Event button.
Now, when attendees visit your event landing page prior to the event date, they will see a disabled button with a message letting them know the exact start date and time of your event (in their own local timezone).
The Enter Event Button will be automatically turned on 60 minutes prior to your event start time. This is to ensure all attendees can access your event successfully.
Following your event, the button will be disabled again, and attendees will no longer be able to enter.
Speakers, organizers, and sponsors will always have full access to your event - they will always be able to see and click the Enter Event Button.
