Updates to our meetings dashboard

The Meetings dashboard is the starting point for managing your MeetingPulse events. From here, you can create and find meetings, check their current status, copy attendee links, access reports, and manage existing meetings.

We heard you!

We´ve launched a new meetings dashboard with more options where you can easily find what you need in one click.

If you're an existing customer, don't worry about losing any of our features. Our new meetings dashboard is an improved version of the same functions you're already familiar with.

We've now moved the top menu to a collapsible sidebar so you can see more of your meetings at once.

Manage users and Organization tab

If your role includes organization-level permissions, select Organization from the sidebar to view account information and manage your team.

From Users section, authorized administrators can invite users, update their access, or remove users who no longer need access.

Stop and resume your meeting at any time.

You can stop a live meeting and resume it whenever needed.

Stopping a meeting temporarily prevents attendees from accessing its interactive content. Anyone who opens the attendee link while the meeting is stopped will see a message explaining that the meeting is not currently live.

Stopping a meeting does not delete its content or responses. You can resume it again using the same attendee URL, and the existing meeting data will remain available in its report.

This is helpful when you want to prepare a meeting in advance, close access between sessions, or reuse the same meeting across multiple days.

Meeting title and attendee URL can now be different

Your meeting title and attendee URL serve different purposes:

  • The meeting title helps administrators identify the meeting on the dashboard and appears when the meeting is opened in the admin view.

  • The meeting URL is the link attendees use to join.

You can give the meeting a clear internal title while using a shorter, audience-friendly URL.

You can copy the meeting URL from your list of meetings or from inside your meeting.

Existing meetings and the new dashboard.

The dashboard uses three statuses to show where each meeting is in its lifecycle:

  • Created: The meeting has been created but not yet activated. Administrators can continue building and reviewing it before making it available to attendees.

  • Active: The meeting is published, and attendees can access it using the meeting link.

  • Stopped: The meeting was previously active but is not currently available to attendees. It can be published again using the same meeting URL, and its existing content and response data will remain in place.

Stop, restart, or clone: Which option should you use?

Action

What it does

Best used when

Stop

Temporarily closes attendee access while keeping the meeting and its existing data

You plan to resume the same meeting later

Restart

Creates a fresh session of the same meeting while preserving previous session data in the reporting history

You want to use the same meeting and URL for another session

Duplicate/Clone

Creates a separate copy of the meeting's structure and settings with its own attendee URL and reporting

You want to reuse a setup for a different event or audience

What happens when you restart a meeting?

Restarting creates a fresh session of the same meeting while keeping:

  • The same meeting URL

  • The meeting's existing settings and structure

  • The attendee invite list and personal access codes

Submissions from the previous session are saved in the meeting's reporting history. Depending on the restart options you select, you can also choose whether to keep or clear Q&A submissions, poll responses, and other attendee-generated content for the new session.

Restarting does not delete previous reports. Data from earlier sessions remains available in the reporting history.

Changing the access mode of an active meeting

If attendees have already joined a meeting and an administrator changes its access mode, the meeting will automatically restart for security reasons. This ensures that attendee access is handled in accordance with the newly selected access settings. Data from the earlier session remains available in the meeting's reporting history.

Clone a meeting

Duplicating a meeting is a quick way to reuse an existing setup. The copy retains the meeting's structure and many of its settings while creating a separate meeting with its own attendee URL and report.

From the dashboard, open the meeting's available actions and select Duplicate or Clone, depending on the label shown in your account. Review the copied meeting before publishing it, especially its title, URL, dates, registration settings, schedule, and attendee-facing content.

Meeting Report

Now you can access your meeting reports for all live meetings from the meetings dashboard by clicking on the "Report" icon.

You can also access the report from inside your meeting like you're used to.

Rename your meetings or change the URL at anytime

Use the new re-name option to change the meeting name on the dashboard.

Deleting a meeting

Meetings can also be deleted if they're no longer needed.

Deleting a meeting also removes its associated content and data. Before deleting it, confirm that the meeting is no longer required and save any reports your team needs to retain. If you only want to prevent attendee access, stop the meeting instead.

Note that if a meeting is deleted, all data on it will be lost.

A few recommended practices

  • Use clear meeting titles so other admins can quickly find the correct event.

  • Test the attendee experience before sharing the link.

  • Finalize the attendee URL set up before distributing invitations or QR codes.

  • Stop the meeting when attendee access should be paused.

  • Review the available options before restarting a meeting so the correct attendee-generated content carries into the new session.

  • Duplicate a proven meeting setup when preparing a similar event.

If you have questions about an option shown on your dashboard or are unsure which action to use, contact the MeetingPulse team. We’ll be happy to help you choose the best approach for your event.
