Taglines in Webex Events Production Studio
Hi, I’m Emily! My pronouns are she/they, and I’m particularly excited to share this new addition to the Webex Events Production Studio with you. With this month’s release, Webex Events Production Studio producers and speakers can now add a tagline that appears under their name. This is a great place for participants to enter their pronouns, profession, or company name. Or, why not add all three, as long as the tagline is under 50 characters!
Participants simply add a tagline in the ‘Tagline (Optional)’ field in the Studio’s “green room” before entering the Studio. If they need to edit their tagline after entering the Studio, they can either select the Edit info option in the Speaker settings menu on their speaker card, or they can make changes from the Personal Information tab in Settings.
Taglines are optional, and producers have the power to control whether to include taglines under a speaker’s name on the stage. Simply click Settings, then the General tab, and check or uncheck the Include taglines option. For existing Studios, taglines are deactivated by default, and for Studios created as of April 25th, 2024, taglines are activated automatically.
⭐ Keep in mind, the ‘Show participant names’ option in General Settings must be activated to show taglines.

Export Production Studio speaker links
We also made a convenient improvement to help producers quickly find and share Webex Events Production Studio speaker links with speakers. If your event has multiple live stream Sessions, you’ll love this. You can now easily retrieve speaker links for all Studios by exporting Sessions from the Webex Events platform. Simply download the Sessions export and find the links in the ‘RTMP List’ sheet under the Speaker Links column.

Webex Events Academy is now part of Webex Academy!
We're excited to share that Webex Events Academy has merged with Webex Academy. This will be the same free platform you're used to with courses, on-demand videos, and interactive walkthroughs to help you gain event knowledge. Plus, you'll now be able to access learning content for all other products in the Webex Suite in one place.
To ensure your progress from Webex Events Academy transfers seamlessly to Webex Academy, follow the instructions in the video below, or read instructions in the Webex Events Resources and Support article on the Webex Events knowledge base.
