Pitch Reels

Admin Panel

Feature setup

• Enable/disable Pitch Reels per event.
• Custom feature name and CTA
  • Admins can rename the feature (e.g., Pitch Reels, Sponsor Spotlight, Elevator Challenge).
• Upload permissions by group
  • Admins can control which groups are allowed to upload videos. Users without permission won’t see the Add video CTA.
• Viewing permissions
  • Video visibility follows existing event gating rules.
  • If Group A can network with Group B, they can view Group A's pitch reels. If not, the reels are not visible.
• Pre-upload message (setting) (Show/ Don't show)
  • Admins can add a message shown to users before uploading a video.
  • This can be used to share video guidelines, policies, or recording tips.
• Moderation contact
  • Event Organizers can assign a moderation contact from the Event or Org admins. These people receive email notifications when a video is reported, with a link to review it.
• Pinning videos
  • Admins can pin up to 5 videos, which are shown first to attendees. This allows Event Organizers to control which pitch reels are most visible via the Admin Panel.

Video management

• Admins can:
  • View all videos in the Admin Panel
  • Hide videos (does not restrict future uploads)
  • Delete a video and block the uploader from future uploads
  • Mute reports for a video (no further report notifications for that video). Use case: ads or content the EO considers acceptable.
• Report notifications logic
  • An email is sent to the moderation contact for each report, up to a maximum of 10 reports per video.
  • If a video receives more than 10 reports, no additional notification emails will be sent for that video.
