How to enable the Live Feed feature for your event

Enabling the Live Feed Feature

The Live Feed feature allows event participants to share posts, photos, and engage with each other during your event. From the Live Feed settings page, you can configure options such as enabling multiple feeds, moderating content, and controlling audience participation.

When to use

  • When you want to create a social media-like experience within your event
  • When you need to share important announcements with attendees
  • When you want to encourage networking and engagement among participants
[!NOTE] Only users with Event Manager or Administrator permissions can modify Live Feed settings.

How to do it

    Navigate to your event in the Cadence admin dashboard.
    Select Live Feed from the left navigation menu.
    Click the Settings tab at the top of the page.
    Choose your feed structure by selecting either:
  • Single Feed (for one main conversation stream)
  • Multiple Feed (to create topic-specific feeds)
    [!TIP] Multiple feeds are useful for larger events where you want to organize conversations by topic, session, or department.
    Configure participation settings by checking or unchecking:
  • "Disable Audience Participation (Main Feed)" to control who can post
  • "Enable Post Approval (Main Feed)" to moderate content before it appears
    [!WARNING] If you enable post approval, ensure you have team members assigned to review and approve posts promptly during the event.
    Enable social media integration by checking "Enable X/Twitter Feed" if you want to display related social media content.
    Click Save to apply your settings.
    Verify your settings by viewing the Live Feed as an attendee would see it.

Troubleshooting

If the Live Feed is not displaying for attendees after enabling it, ensure that:
  • The Live Feed menu item is enabled in your event's menu settings
  • Your event license type supports the Live Feed feature
  • You have refreshed the page after making changes to feed settings
