What it does
Running webinars or online workshops through an events calendar usually means sending join details by hand and hoping the wrong people do not find the link. This addon keeps those details inside each event in Modern Events Calendar. You can add embed codes, usernames, passwords and private links, then choose whether everyone sees them or only people who have booked a ticket.
Once attendees book, the plugin can email them the virtual event details using customizable templates with placeholders, so the right link and credentials reach each person. Virtual events get a badge in single event views, in shortcodes and in a dedicated sidebar spot, which helps visitors spot online sessions. It connects with Zoom and Webex, making it a good fit for organizers who already run their calendar on Modern Events Calendar.
Best for
- Sites already using Modern Events Calendar
- Organizers running webinars, online seminars or workshops
- Businesses and educators selling tickets to virtual conferences
Features

Email templates with placeholders
Automatically send virtual event details to booked attendees through customizable email templates that use placeholders, such as one for the virtual link.

Mark online events with a badge in single event views and shortcodes, enable it across all shortcodes with one setting, and add a sidebar badge.
