Show social stream

You can make settings for the visibility of the social stream here. This allows your guests to post, like and comment on texts and images. All within guestoo and your event - no external social networks required. You control who can read the social stream and who can post.

This feature is only available in certain subscriptions, but can be added on demand for an additional charge. Feature: Social Stream / Social Wall

Event > Settings > Section "Show social stream"


Note: If you cannot see this section, it is probably hidden.

In order to display it, scroll to the bottom of the “Settings” tab and click on “Show more options”.
There you can set which sections should be displayed and which should be hidden so that you have a better overview. :)
