StaarCon News for December 10th

We have about a month and a half until the StaarCon 5 AfterGlow is over. Our new platform, StaarCast, will keep recorded sessions available indefinitely, unlike Accelevents, which does not. Make sure you watch and rewatch your favorite sessions from StaarCon 5 before January 26!

One of the best features of Accelevents that we will certainly carry over to StaarCast is the concept of lounge presentations. The lounge works very much like Zoom, where all participants can speak and be on camera if they like. The improvement that StaarCast will add is that these lounge sessions will be recorded, a capability that Accelevents does not have.

We still have some great lounge sessions before the end of the AfterGlow, including tomorrow evening, Thursday, December 11, at 5:30 pm, with Serena Fox. Serena, also known as Magic Oma, offers a friendly, supportive space for healing, growth, divination, and seasonal fun. Join her tomorrow!

StaarCast News

The team has been busy all week working on payment system details and fine-tuning the meeting interface.

StaarCast presenters can enable the meeting recorder to record the entire workshop or meeting, or selected segments. Participants in your seminars and meetings can review the recordings at their convenience during the access period granted by membership or pay-per-view purchase.

Presenters can grant guest access to their presentations. Guests can enter the meeting room with a single click. At any time, guests can upgrade their guest membership to a free membership or purchase a premium membership.

The StaarCast presenter level member can upload videos and set pay-per-view or membership pricing. The payout platform now supports payouts using Stripe or PayPal.

I know you have been patiently waiting for your own opportunity to test the platform, and I hope to mail the invitations soon!

A fairy looking forward to StaarCon 6.
