Whether it's an online event or one on a real stage - co-hosting makes things much easier. As the organiser or speaker, you can concentrate on your speech and your co-moderator can support you in communicating with your participants. Find out how you can easily do this with TEDME in this article.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Why co-hosting is a good idea<\/h2>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Anyone who has ever organised a webinar or online event on their own knows how much there is to do. And we're not even talking about the sometimes seemingly endless to-do list until the event is finally organised. We're \"only\" talking about the day of the live event, which can be a real challenge. Depending on your plans, you may have to start the video conference or the live stream, share your slides, encourage participants to interact in the chat or in surveys, listen to their questions and much more. In most cases, this is simply far too much for one person. It is much better if you assign these tasks to different roles. In practice, the roles of moderator, co-moderator, speaker, video director and IT support have proven their worth. Of course, this depends very much on the size of your event and the complexity of the tools involved. We would recommend co-moderation in any case.<\/p>\r\n

How co-moderators can support your speaker or moderator<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Co-moderators keep an eye on everything that is happening on the event platform, in the video conferencing tool or on your event website. They read and comment on incoming comments from your participants and distribute them to the technical team or to the moderator and speakers. You keep an eye on Q&A sessions and can often even moderate them, i.e. select or withhold certain questions in advance.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

A co-moderator can also help you to keep to the given time.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

TEDME offers numerous valuable functions so that your co-moderator can implement this as simply and purposefully as possible.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

TEDME offers these functions for your co-moderator<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Let's take a closer look at the individual functions.<\/p>\r\n

Co-moderation in the session chat<\/em><\/h3>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Your co-moderator can display the chat by simply clicking on the \"Chat\" button and visibly answer the incoming questions there as a \"chat moderator\". When answering, they can refer directly to it, similar to what you know from other chat services such as Whatsapp or similar. You can also moderate the chat, i.e. you can delete unsuitable questions.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

This is what answering a question looks like from the co-moderator's point of view:<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

In the so-called stage view of TEDME, you can display the questions received from your participants to the panellists. This allows the panellists to respond to them on the real or virtual stage. To do this, simply call up the co-moderation in TEDME and switch to stage view at the top right of the screen.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Let your co-moderator follow the Q&A session and the voting results live. They will benefit from this insight, especially if they do not have a clear view of the projector or a \"second screen\" in the form of a smartphone or tablet to hand.<\/p>\r\n

Co-moderation during the Q&A session<\/em><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

One of the most popular parts of a presentation: the Q&A session. If you use TEDME, your co-presenters can comment directly on audience questions. The good thing about this is that all participants can also see these comments. This means that nobody has to ask or answer twice.<\/p>\r\n

Pin questions in the Q&A session<\/em><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Simply highlight the questions that are currently being discussed and make them easier for all participants to see. This way, everyone will quickly know what the discussion is about. Thanks to TEDME, your co-moderator can \"pin\" particularly interesting questions to the top. The pinned question appears with a yellow border at the top of the Q&A section - both for the participants in the question list and for the moderator.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Online events in particular have shown that participants ask their questions exactly where they are and when it occurs to them. Even if you as the organiser have a section for small talk - usually the session chat - and one for all questions - usually the Q&A module - participants type in their questions wherever they want. This was not the case \"in the past\" with face-to-face events. The vast majority of people typed in their question exactly where the organiser wanted them to: In the Q&A section. This separation no longer exists - at least not from the participants' point of view. As an organiser, you therefore need to keep an eye on both the session chat and the Q&A section. A very simple and practical solution comes from TEDME:<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Your co-host discovers an exciting question in the session chat and would like to offer it a larger stage, i.e. in the Q&A area? They can transfer chat contributions directly to the Q&A module with just one click. With one click.<\/p>\r\n
