Swapcard is an application platform used by the Event organizers to host their events. We do not directly manage or handle registrations. Our team can assist you with any technical concerns related to the app and help improve your experience during the event. Below are some of the most common scenarios and questions that can help you get acquainted with the functionality of the platform.
If you have questions related to the following, please reach out to the organizers of the event as they can best assist you with these queries.
1. Session recordings, session presentation, downloadable material, on-demand access, and the availability of the event on the platform.
2. CEU, CPU and other educational credits including Certificates.
3. Exhibitor package, upgrading package, transferring a ticket/pass or registration to another attendee.
4. Unable to add team members to your booth as the email is not found.
Event Login Process
Below are the most common scenarios, you can encounter while trying to login to the platform.
1. Did not receive Login Email: The login email or the "magic link" email is an automated email that is sent to you once your registration information is synced with Swapcard. This email is sent from noreply@swapcard.com and if you do not see it in your inbox it most likely could be in your spam folder or might be blocked by your company's firewall if you are using you work email address.
If your company is blocking our email, please have them whitelist noreply@swapcard.com and then go to the login page to receive a new magic link email after entering the email address you used to register for the event.
If you have recently registered and have not yet received a login email, it's possible that your registration data has not yet been synced with our platform. Please wait for the login email or check your spam or junk email. The email comes from noreply@swapcard.com. If you're not getting any email, even after having asked your company to whitelist our email addresses, please contact us.

3. Email address not recognized: If your email address is not recognized, it means that you've either registered for your event with a different email address or there was an email typo at registration or when you tried to login.

Should the video player remain unavailable following a page refresh; it is most likely a security setting on your browser, device, or network blocking access to the content server. We would recommend trying the following.
- Try accessing the site from another browser (this gets around any browser settings that could be blocking access) If you are on a PC you should have access to Edge and if on a Mac it will be Safari
- Open an Incognito Window and try to access the content through this (this gets around any cached or bad data that could be held in the browser)
- Try on a different device (Mobile perhaps, if you are viewing on desktop)
- Use a different internet connection, a mobile phone with wifi off so it uses mobile data is a good option (this bypasses things like corporate network restrictions or VPNs that may be presenting an issue).
Please note that videos are not hosted on Swapcard and that the platform only acts as a "gateway" to the event's video content.

Meetings in Swapcard can be requested with an individual or with a booth directly. Any meeting requested for an individual profile will block off that time for that attendee.
However, booths can receive several meeting requests on a same time slot. The number of meeting requests a booth can receive per time slot is defined by the organizers of the event.
Exhibitor members' time slots and booths' time aren't synced which means that all members could be unavailable but the booth would still show available time slots. It is not possible for now to make time slots unavailable on a booth.

Please note that you need to enter only the ID of the video that you wish to upload. The complete URL will not retrieve the stream. You will find the Video ID in the URL of the video usually an alphanumeric one if its YouTube and a numerical one if it is Vimeo. For the video to stream on the platform it has to be set as "Public" or at least allowed to be streamed on "app.swapcard.com". These settings are found in the YouTube or Vimeo studio settings page.

11. I am trying to start a meeting but I get a blank/black screen with no Audio or Video. How do I fix this?
This problem usually occurs if there is a firewall that is blocking the streaming connection. Run the Pre-call test in order to determine if the system network is ready for a call.
