Since our last update, our developers have been diligently improving our New Virtual Portal. As virtual and hybrid events evolve, we remain committed to delivering an intuitive, engaging, and high-performance platform that meets the growing needs of modern event organizers and attendees. 

While the New Virtual Portal has already been successfully used for several events, development is still ongoing to refine its capabilities and ensure a smooth and reliable experience for all users. In this update, we’re excited to share some of the latest features and improvements that are shaping the future of PheedLoop’s virtual event environment.

Mobile Responsiveness and Compatibility

It’s no secret that more and more users are browsing the internet on their mobile devices. A report from Statista found that approximately 62% of web traffic comes from the use of Mobile Devices. In response to this trend, the Virtual Portal’s user interface (UI) has been redesigned with full mobile responsiveness in mind.

Whether you’re using a tablet, smartphone, laptop or desktop, the interface will automatically adjust to provide a seamless, consistent experience. This ensures high usability across all devices and makes it easier for participants to stay connected, no matter where they are. Every element is optimized for performance and clarity across screen sizes to reduce friction and increase event satisfaction.

The improved responsive design removes accessibility barriers and ensures that all users—regardless of device or environment—can fully participate. This translates directly into higher participation rates and stronger engagement metrics.

Live Video Calls for Group Networking

We know that face to face communication is just as important as written exchanges when it comes to networking. That’s why PheedLoop is expanding our Group Networking experience to better support meaningful, real-time interactions.

Our Live Video Call feature is currently in development and is built directly into the New Virtual Portal. Attendees will soon be able to jump into meetings with ease, allowing for spontaneous conversations, deeper engagement, and richer community-building opportunities.

Live video calls will make it even easier to build professional relationships no matter the scale.

Magic Login Link Support

In virtual events, ease of access is critical—especially when seconds can determine whether a participant joins or drops off. That’s why the New Virtual Portal will fully support Magic Login Links, allowing attendees secure and instant access with a single click. 

Magic Login Links can be automatically sent via email or retrieved from the Event Dashboard by administrators. This helps eliminate common access issues, improves the onboarding experience, and reduces the volume of technical support requests during your event.

This feature is especially valuable for less tech-savvy attendees who might otherwise struggle with login steps or abandon the process entirely. As a result, your event becomes more inclusive and welcoming to a broader audience. 

For organizers seeking to offer a seamless check-in process, especially for large-scale or multi-session events, this feature can be a game changer. By removing login barriers, Magic Links significantly reduce no-show rates, a major win for event organizers focused on maximizing attendance and engagement.

SmartSight and Custom Report Compatible

Understanding how attendees engage with your event is key to continuous improvement. That’s why we've integrated SmartSight and Custom Reporting tools into the New Virtual Portal.

Organizers can now track valuable metrics such as:

• Page visits and duration of stay
• Chat activity and public interactions
• Time spent in sessions and networking areas

This data provides valuable insight into event feedback and provides your organization data driven steps to improving the event experience. With fully customizable reports, you can tailor insights to meet your organization’s specific goals—whether you're focusing on engagement, retention, or lead generation.

Conclusion

The New Virtual Portal is more than just an upgrade—it’s a strategic leap forward in how virtual and hybrid events are experienced.

With enhanced mobile responsiveness, live video networking capabilities, streamlined access via Magic Login Links, and deep data insights through SmartSight and Custom Reporting, PheedLoop is setting a new standard for virtual event platforms.
