BNI+ / VIDEO LINKS
BNI+: Adding and Opening Video Links for Your Meeting
Add a video link to a featured speaker or an agenda section, then open it from the meeting controller. This guide shows the featured speaker, Networking Education, and Close Meeting examples demonstrated in the video.
Before you begin, have your video’s sharing link ready and open the correct chapter and meeting in BNI+. The example uses a Dropbox link to an MP4 video. You will need access to edit the speaker or agenda section.
