Great Product, exciting to see what this brings in the future.
I wasn't planning on buying on anything during Black Friday, but here we go Tevent got me to spend dollars.
Here's what I like...
- The tool suits almost any form of video meeting need I can think of.
- It's well designed (not like Zoom and Teams which always seem to add more complexity )
- All the tools (voting, survey, questions) you would usually need to get elsewhere or at additional cost are easy to access
- It just works! (Yes, I have Zoom nightmares)
What would make me move this to 5 stars?
- The current set-up of Stages, Rooms and Tables seems to be overkill for some of my use cases. I'd love to create Meetings directly within an Event. I imagine an Event could be one of my programs which spans over 2 months, each week I will have 1 meeting with a small group of the same people. Like a course or a mastermind. Currently, I would end the event in 2 months but in the future, I would probably sell a mastermind with a monthly meeting for 12 months in duration.
- Dedicated assignment of people to tables is essential for some projects (part of workshop facilitation is assigning the right people to each table).
- For some projects I do a detailed participant list with log-in times and log-out times is required before the client releases funds. A detailed log would be helpful for these events.
- Some of the Stage tools should also be available at table and meeting room level, such as surveys and questions.
- There's currently no way to reach support besides shooting your question into a black hole. A chat option would be really helpful.
- Although I like the colours of the app, I wouldn't want to have my clients see these colours.
- Already mentioned in my comments, there's a HUGE opportunity to blend heartbeat.chat and Tevent together, which would probably make it the best community tool on the planet.
- Is it possible to allow someone to ask their question on camera during a Stage event? (I haven't been able to verify this).
The tool is not there for all use cases yet, but it looks very promising. I'm excited to see you grow!

May 9, 2024Hi mfvanrijn,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review — glad we were able to convince you to give Tevent a go! If you need help with anything at all, please reach out to us over chat on our website or our support page.
Your suggestions have indeed been very helpful! Here’s some additional information we thought might be helpful.
- On meetings within Events: For now, our Events are designed with Stages, Rooms and Tables to accommodate a wide variety of use cases. We understand that this might not be suitable for every use case, and are looking at ways to simplify the structure for more straightforward Events, or Events that only use one session.
- On assigning people to Tables: There is no way to pre-assign people to tables or rooms currently — so this is indeed something we’re considering to add. For now, it’s easy to signpost tables with names to simply direct people - you can also share links to specific tables to make the flow even more seamless. I.e. if you share the link to Table X with a User, when they click it they’ll head straight to the Table (so no confusion about other tables).
- On detailed reports: Noted! We will add this to our analytics discussions. Currently, we provide cumulative analytics so as not to breach any anonymity in the data collected, but we will consider this if it surfaces as a crucial requirement for organisers (while, of course, safeguarding attendee data).
- On Stage tools being available in Rooms: This is very valuable feedback, some of these features are already on our internal backlog for review, I’ll add the rest and encourage you to keep an eye out on our roadmap (https://roadmap.tevent.com/) for updates.
- On reaching support: We do have a live chat option to speak to a member of our team. You can access this by clicking the '?' icon at the bottom left of the Tevent dashboard, or by heading to our support page (https://support.tevent.com/) and clicking the Chat bubble button on the bottom right!
- On custom branding: Custom branding, including fonts, colours, etc. is currently on the backlog of our public roadmap, which you can browse at: https://roadmap.tevent.com/
- On integrating heartbeat.chat: This has been a common thread amongst LTD users, so it’s definitely something we will have a look at internally.
- On bringing an attendee on Stage: During a Stage session, Organisers and Presenters with Stage Permissions (Present & Edit) are able to add new presenters to the Stage. Simply click the Profile Icon with a Plus next to the Cogwheel icon on the bottom left of the Stage, enter the user’s name, set the level of permissions (I recommend ‘Present Only’) and they will be able to join the Stage to ask their question. You can then remove their permissions.
