As our clients develop their virtual fundraising event strategy, live streamed programs are becoming more and more prevalent. Handbid recognizes the importance of a professional looking live stream performance that includes a combination of speeches, pre-recorded videos, slideshows and most importantly updated auction bidding and donation information.

Handbid's New Feature Update 

Auction in a Box Screens

With Handbid's Virtual Auction in a Box software, we have developed a one-stop-shop for creating that professional live stream including updated live data from Handbid. However, we also realize that many charities have their own video teams or vendors. We want to make sure they too can enjoy these integrated overlays to be used with their own programs.

Therefore, we have published access to the live browser overlays we use in our Virtual Auction in a Box service. Details on how to incorporate these are found here in our Handbid Knowledge Base Article: Integrate Handbid data into your live stream software (OBS example)

Examples:

Scene: Live Auction

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
