What is Crowdcast?
Crowdcast is the digital platform that the Children's Bookshow uses for digital events. It is simple to use and interactive. You will be able to access the chat, as well as ask a question before and during the live show.
Can I share my Crowdcast link?
No. Each person that wishes to access the event will need to register separately. For example, if three teachers in the same school would like to watch the performance, they will each need to register with their own email address and use the link they are sent to access the event.
Can I use my Crowdcast link on several different devices?
No, but you will be able to broadcast from your class laptop to the whiteboard. Or you could get all the children into the hall and broadcast from the whiteboard there.
Is there anything I should know?
Crowdcast is very straightforward to use - there is nothing to download but you will need to create an account, and use Chrome internet browser. Crowdcast does not work on Safari or Internet Explorer.
It is vitally important that you get your free ticket on Crowdcast at least 48 hours before the event is due to start. There is not enough time for us to help you with any problems you might come across if you wait to register on the day of the event.
