Here's the details to show you everything you need to know about editing and managing your virtual Screening Event.

Log In to your Kinema account.

Click on your initials, in the upper right hand corner

Select Dashboard

Select the correct Organization Name in the left nav if you have multiple organizations

Click on My Screenings in the left hand nav

Click on Manage Screening for the event you want to Edit.

This is your Event Management page. You can come here at any time to Edit and manage your Event.

Here you will find the following:

  • Capacity, Ticket and Sales Data

  • Details of your Screening Event

  • The ability to edit and change your Screening Event details

Click on Edit Event to begin editing your screening Event Page and Virtual Cinema.

Here you can edit the following:

  • Title of your Screening Event

  • Host Logo and Name

  • Date and Time

  • Time Zone

  • Screening Description, which displays on your Event Page

  • Virtual Event Description, to be displayed within the Virtual Cinema

  • Privacy - whether you want your event to be listed publicly on the Cinema Discover Page

**Please note that you’ll need to inform your guests of any major changes to your screening event, such as date/time/speaker line-up.

Host Logo and Name

To edit the logo that will appear on both the Event page and in your Virtual Cinema go to the Hosted By section

  • Click the pencil

  • Upload Image of Minimum 400x400 Pixels

  • Edit the Host Name if you like

Virtual Event Description

To edit the copy that will appear in the Virtual Cinema simply start typing in the Virtual Event Description field. At this time you are not able to preview the Virtual Cinema but this is where your messaging will go and look like:

You can edit the copy and logo in the Virtual Cinema during your event. However your audience will only see it if they refresh their browser/URL.

TIP: Arrive at your virtual screening event 30 minutes before, when the Virtual Cinema opens. See how you like the Copy and Logo you uploaded. If you’d like to make adjustments, go back to the Event Management page, per the above, make changes and Save. Then refresh the Virtual Cinema Browser/URL.

Let's go back to the main Event Management Page to review some of the other items you can edit and manage.

Capacity, Tickets, Attendees

  • If you are selling tickets to your event and need to change the number of guests allowed, click on the edit icon next to Capacity. Additional fees may apply with changes to Capacity

  • Click on View Attendees to view Guests that have purchased tickets. You can also download a CSV file of all Attendees and their email addresses in case you want to contact them

View Your Event Page

  • Click on Event URL to see your updated Event Page. Send this event page to your guests so they can get their tickets. Copy and paste the Event link into your email invitation or social media posts.

Note: As a host, you already have a ticket, so no need to get one for yourself.

Live Broadcasting

  • You can also set up a Live Broadcast which allows you to engage directly with your audience via a live video stream before, during, or after the film plays. This is what you’ll use for introductions, discussions, and Q&As. Just click on Live Broadcast to get started. We have more resources for Live Broadcasting that can be found here.

Speakers

  • If speakers are participating in a Live Discussion/Q&A for your event, you can add them to your event page by clicking on the Speaker button

  • Simply add an image of your Speaker, their Name and Title

Promotional Images

We've provided you with promotional images you can use for your Screening Event.

How To Videos

And that’s how to edit and manage your Virtual Screening Event through our Event Management Page!
