Members vs. Anonymous users

Anonymous Users

Anyone can click on an event link and join an event in their browser. A person who joins an event, but does not log in or sign up to create an account in your community, is called an anonymous user. As an anonymous user, they will be assigned to Visitor + 4 digit number (Visitor 1234), or they can choose to input a screen name. They can easily access your event, watch and follow along without ever having to log in or create an account. An anonymous user can also chat with the Greeters, but they don't have to give any personal information. However, to participate in direct communication with individual members through chat, watch parties, and the social lobby, an anonymous user is asked to sign up. They can sign up with their email, Google, or Facebook account. They sign up directly in the system without having to leave the platform. Once they create an account, they will always be logged in on that device when they join future events. Learn more about how to sign up during an event.
