Event organizers now learn to redesign the online event experience through innovative tools such as a chat platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/virtual-events-chat\/\">event chat<\/a> platform combines multiple features in one, which helps virtual events succeed. What makes it so special is that, there are even more opportunities to create engagement-driven experiences that extend well beyond a computer screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With messaging, you can make use of features like video\/audio calling, <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/2020\/02\/10\/panel-discussion\/\">moderation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/2021\/07\/27\/polls\/\">polls<\/a>, and more, making it ideal for any virtual event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During virtual events, the focus is on your audience and how you can make the event more interesting for them. A chat puts everything on one platform so that users can easily express and communicate in events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why a chat platform for virtual events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For virtual events, the tools that you use should be versatile. When you do this, you ensure the success of your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because events are not one size fits all, the tools that you use could make or break the events held. A chat platform can be used in multiple ways through its various features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that there are so many features and ways you can use a chat, we have compiled three reasons why your virtual events need to be accompanied by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voice and video calling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this new era, &#8220;<em>Good day<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>How are you?<\/em>&#8221; have become such common greetings sent over texts. Yes, messaging is a great way to communicate, but calling takes it to even greater heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the advancement of technology, messaging is not the only form of communication that people have. <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/knowledge-base\/can-i-make-live-video-or-audio-calls-in-the-group-chat-room\/\">Voice and video calling<\/a> are two features, which boost user experience. In virtual events, e.g., job fairs, to recreate the interview experience, video calling can come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190611064112\/audiocall.png\" alt=\"web-based counselling chat\" class=\"wp-image-6919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190611064112\/audiocall.png 800w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190611064112\/audiocall-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190611064112\/audiocall-768x574.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In addition, only messaging may not convey a message properly. So, some users prefer to initiate a voice call to make sure the other party gets the right message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customize the chat design to fit your theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tune the look and feel of your chat with skins and themes. By adding a few lines of CSS, you can easily change the chat design.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20210323091620\/css.gif\" alt=\"chat platform\" class=\"wp-image-9584\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Change backgrounds, <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/knowledge-base\/can-i-change-the-font-size-and-color-of-the-message-text\/\">adjust fonts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/knowledge-base\/how-to-change-users-messages-background-colors\/\">change messages&#8217; colors<\/a>, and other design properties to customize the chat design and make it fit your event or website theme perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect exhibitors and attendees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a similar experience with in-person booths, use the chat. Chat platforms make it easy to set up virtual booths where attendees can instantly reach out to exhibitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a group chat, exhibitors can share documents, videos, and images as promotional material in the chat to answer an attendee&#8217;s question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great thing about chat platforms for virtual events is that it allows for networking. While there&#8217;s an event ongoing, participants can go into the general chat room and chat up with other participants. They can make important connections during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These features make virtual events feel like in-person events and emulate the booths in conferences, job fairs, and other events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The features included in this blog are all essential for virtual events. You might be thinking that achieving this is hard. However, it&#8217;s not. All of these features are available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rumbletalk.com\">RumbleTalk<\/a> and you can set it up in a matter of minutes.
