- Select the day of the event.
- Enter your meeting title, your meeting description or agenda, select your meeting date and time (please note: the vbrick stream will end an hour after your end time if you don’t end the event. You may want to overshoot the end time, so the event is not cut off).

- Scroll down, under Video Source, click the drop-down arrow and select Video Address from the dropdown. The information entered here will vary depending on which meeting type you are using.
- Teams - Open your Teams Meeting invite and scroll to the bottom. The information below is what you will be looking for to enter.

b. ZoomGov - You will need your meeting ID and password. Enter the information following the format (meetingID.Password@sip.zoomgov.com). Then enter the password again in the Pin / Password section.
c. WebEx – Open your meeting invite and look for the information below. Depending on how you have set up your meeting, this might be a meeting ID instead of your personal room. You may also have a password that needs entered.

- Attendees - Under the attendee section, choose Public and Anonymous
9. Attendee Engagements - Under this section select the communication methods you would like attendees to have.
- Polls can be set up ahead of time
- Chat is visible to all attendees
- Q&A are sent to moderators. After answering, moderators can choose whether the post will be seen by all attendees or only the person that asked the question/made the comment.
- Event Branding - This last section is optional, but if you want to change the colors to your agency colors you could do that here.
11. Finish setup – Click create to finish the event setup.
12. Click Embed Webcast. Then select “Full Webcast” and copy. This is the code that you will send to your agency’s Webmaster to embed on your agency’s site.
