Increase Stability and Speed for Presenters and attendees in the surrounding areas by selecting a server closest to your audience.
We've added an exciting addition to our server locations: BigMarker users can now use our Africa (Cape Town) server to host their events.This is meant to increase stability and speed for presenters and attendees in the surrounding areas.
You can choose your server location in two ways: throughGlobal Channel Settingsor through theAdvanced Settingsof your webinar.In this article, learn how to change your server.
Note:We strongly recommend changing your server locationBEFOREany impacted event starts, as switching server locations mid-event can cause disruptions for attendees and presenters.
