# January 2022

We are welcoming the new year with a few new additions to the Digital Venue. We hope you like them!

## Home page in the Digital Venue

The Home page is a place where your attendees can see basic information about the event such as the title, location, agenda and sponsors.&#x20;

Here you can see a complete example of how it looks like:

As always, all information is automatically populated based on the configuration and content of your event.

To activate the Home page, you need to go to _Event Settings > Digital Venue_ and activate the corresponding option:

## Attendee filters

When you attend to an event, it's very difficult to find interesting people to connect with.&#x20;

You can search for people from specific companies or specific names using the classic text search engine, and that's fine. But sometimes it is not enough, especially for large events.&#x20;

You need something more powerful so you don't waste too much time looking for potentially interesting people. That's why we've created the _Attendee Filters_.&#x20;

_Attendee Filters_ allow your event attendees to search more accurately when they view a public list of attendees:

![](https://3639701563-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FtfrLSmgD7cWkJRrP9gf7%2Fuploads%2FjLIy0sAANeWR3zlcqDys%2FAttendee%20filters.gif?alt=media\&token=6fe534bd-410a-49ff-a1d8-c0df87f0c86a)

This makes it easier to find potentially interesting people to connect with. And it's also more likely that potentially interesting people will end up being actually interesting.&#x20;

Bottom line: the quality of networking at your event improves and your attendees waste less time meeting people they are not really interested in.

## Add videos from other providers using iframes

Until now, the list of video providers supported by the Digital Venue was limited to a number of options (YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom, etc). You could not use a provider outside that list.&#x20;

Now, you can add videos from other providers thanks to the new option - Other (iframe) - that we have developed.

## Know who has watched a session (Beta)

Our Data Team has been working very hard for months with the aim of offering you the best data on the market about attendee behaviour during your event.&#x20;

We are implementing a completely new technical infrastructure with a huge potential, but the process is very complex and takes time.&#x20;

Our first big goal is to offer you a dashboard with session attendance analytics, so you can know things like which attendees have watched more than 70% of a session. But for this we still have a few weeks of work to do.&#x20;

However, we can already give you some useful information. If you are using the Digital Venue for an upcoming event, your Project Manager can provide you with a CSV file with the list of connections and disconnections of the attendees, so you will be able to know who has watched which session and for how long.&#x20;

We are aware that this is a manual process, but this way we can provide you with value as soon as possible, without waiting for the complete panel to be ready 🙂
