Guidelines based on the number of participants

The table at the bottom of the page indicates the limits of each feature depending on the number of participants.

For the connection of the participants, it is essential to plan a connection time adapted to the number of participants. Indeed, this step being the most critical in terms of server load, it is necessary to make sure that the participants do not all connect at exactly the same time but rather spread out in time.
This will also allow to have a maximum of participation from the very first interactivity!

To do this, here are our recommendations:

• Invite participants to connect before the event starts (by email for example). Be careful, if Sparkup is integrated into another platform, it must be directly accessible for the connection to take place. If not, a message should be sent to invite participants to open the Sparkup's interactivity when they arrive.

• This also applies to face-to-face participants. You can also provide a welcome desk that invites you to connect (with QRCode for example) and/or a welcome slide in the room inviting you to connect to Sparkup as soon as you are seated.

• Connection time to be expected:
  • 5000 participants -> 5mn minimum
  • 10 000 participants -> 12mn minimum
  • 15,000 participants -> 20 minutes minimum
  • 20 000 participants -> 30mn minimum
  • Do not hesitate to check with our technical team to optimize this process and avoid any risk.
