Hosting an online event (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams)

Ticket Brew keeps your meeting link private. Your event page shows "Online event (Zoom)", and only people with a valid ticket can open the link.

Setting it up

1. Open your event and go to Event page.
2. Click the location, choose Online, and paste your Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, YouTube or other link.
3. Optionally add joining instructions, such as a passcode or "please join 5 minutes early".
4. Click Done, then Save.

Creating a new event? Choose Online in the first step. You can leave the link blank and add it later.

What ticket holders get

• A Join event button in their ticket email and on their tickets page.
• The online link in their calendar when they tap Add to calendar.
• Your joining instructions, shown just before they join.

Each button is personal to one ticket. When someone presses it, Ticket Brew checks that their ticket is still valid and then opens your link.

Why this is better than pasting the link

• The link stays off your public page, so people can't join without a ticket.
• Refunded or cancelled tickets stop working straight away.
• You can change the link at any time. Tickets you've already sent will open the new link. You don't need to resend anything.
• Automatic check-in. Anyone who joins from an hour before the start is marked as joined. Open Online Attendance in your event's sidebar to see who has joined and who hasn't, live during the event. (Online events don't need the Ticket Scanner, so it's hidden for them.)

Good to know

• If you haven't added a link yet, ticket holders see a "link not ready yet" message. Your overview shows a reminder until you add one.
• Buying several tickets? Each attendee gets their own Join button on the tickets page, so share each person's ticket with them.
