Embedding social media feeds
Organisers can use various editors to add social media feeds:
- Facebook JavaScript: Use JavaScript code to embed face-book content dynamically.
- Facebook HTML: Use HTML code to embed face-book content statically.
- X HTML: Utilize XHTML for embedding content, which is a more strict and standardised version of HTML.
Here is the view of social feed section.
For instance, to embed a face-book page using the face-book java-script editor, organiser would insert a specific page java-script e that generates a live feed of the page’s posts and interactions.Here is the example given below how organiser will embed a face-book page or profile using script.
After “saving” the script given in editor, organiser found another option on social feed called “projector view”.
When organiser click the “projector view” button, this script will render the embedded face-book page on the projector screen.
Labels
In the “labels” section, organiser can customise the text labels that appear on the projector screen for the social feed module. This allows organiser to personalise the display according to organiser event’s theme or requirements.
