2. Add Speakers as users
3. Add Speakers to your videos
4. Add Speakers to your categories
5. Where do I see it on my app?

Enable the "Speakers" option on your Bamboo account

In order to have the option to add Speakers to your videos and categories on Bamboo, you need to first enable this option on your "Settings" page.

Go to the menu, find the Settings page, and under "My media fields" enable "Show speakers".

After enabling "Show Speaker", refresh the screen.

Add Speakers as users

In order to show speakers, you first need to add them to your account.

1. Go to the Users module and press the green "New user" button.

When adding a new user you will need to insert their email address, name and password.

For the role, choose "Contributor".

Bamboo Pro Tip: If you don't really need the speakers to use the system themselves and login.

When adding a new user for them, you can choose a fictive email, like- "speakername@youraccount.com".

2. After adding the new speaker, press his email on the users list, in order to edit his additional details.

Important! Make sure to change the speaker's type from "User" to "Speaker".

Bamboo Pro Tip- You can also choose the types "Cast" or "Artist" if it's more relevant to your account, everything will work the same. The only difference will show on the titles on the app.

For each speaker you can also add a profile image, and short and long descriptions (User short bio /User bio).

Bamboo Pro Tip- If you don't have the image URL and you need some help adding images, just contact us, we would love to help.
