2.3. Session Components
While creating a session, multiple things need to be added. Following is brief information about each section:
Basic Info
a) Session Name: Enter the session name, which should be clear and descriptive. Session details are visible to participants on the landing page agenda and the platform.
b) Session Date: Enter the session date when the speakers and host will be going live.
c) Session Time: Enter the session time for participants to know what time they need to attend. You can also add a custom time by double-clicking on the time section.
d) Duration: Enter the duration of the session in minutes.
Host: The session host is one point of contact for a live session and manages the stage controls. A host can only be a team member of the community.
You can also hide the details of the Host from all the attendees.

e) Co-host: The co-host feature allows you to have another user share event hosting responsibilities with the host. Having a co-host helps the host focus on moderating the event while the co-host handles the administrative aspect of the session.

f) Session summary: Add a brief description of the session, which participants can read about and get a glimpse of the session.
g) Speakers: Add & map up to 50 speakers for a particular session. Speakers will get an option to interact with each other backstage with other speakers and hosts and can go live whenever the session is live.

How many speakers can an Airmeet session accommodate on stage?
Note: For an RTMP-based session, the speaker can't join backstage or on Stage while the session is live. In contrast, as an organizer, you can add them as speakers and map them for an RTMP session to display their information on the event landing page and session agenda during the event.
h) Session tags: Tags are labels attached to a session or booth to identify or filter out the topic of interest.
Note: You can add up to 100 tags cumulatively for an event.
Access
i) Control who can join: The organizers/host can control who can enter individual sessions in Airmeet events. Controlling access can be done based on either Ticketing tiers or the list of registrants or attendees uploaded by the organizer using a CSV file upload, or both options can be used.

j) Resources: Upload resources that can be used during the event and live session.

3. Create parallel Sessions on Airmeet
Parallel sessions can only be created in Virtual Event format events. Therefore, the parallel sessions have to have a different host and speakers for each session, and event managers in the community can be the hosts of these sessions.

4. Set up tracks for your event & map sessions to a track
The tracks feature offers event organizers an easy and effective way to group sessions in the same category or target the same set of audiences under tracks. Tracks are also helpful when events have parallel tracks happening for different groups of audience segments.

5. How many speakers can an Airmeet session accommodate on Stage?
5.1. On Stage
An attendee can join the Stage by raising their hand one by one if 28 speakers are already there on Stage.
5.2. On Backstage
On session backstage, apart from the limit mentioned above, the community manager & event manager (team members) can also join backstage for a quick catch-up until the session is not live and would be pushed out as soon as the session begins.
Note: The above condition only applies if the community manager & event manager (team members) are not mapped as a host/co-host for a particular session.
It is recommended not to have more than 10 participants at backstage/stage for a smooth experience.
6. Live Stage Controls For A Session Host/Co-host
A session host is a session pilot with all the controls to run the session successfully.

- Invite to the Stage by the session host
- Raise hand request sent by attendee
