Using Gleam at Events

There are two primary ways you can run Gleam Competitions at events:

Running Your Competition in Event Mode

If you are planning to use Gleam at an event you will need to enable Event Mode on the setup tab.

This will do a few things to make life easier at your event:

  • It will disable our fraud filter so users don't get invalidated or hit with CAPTCHA's
  • Refreshing the page will log the current user out
  • The page will timeout and refresh after 2 minutes of inactivity

It is not recommended to use social actions that require authentication or login at Events.

Directing Traffic To Your Competition Via QR Codes

You can also easily use Gleam at your event by displaying your Competition's unique QR code, which you can find under the Promote tab, at your event. Users who scan the code will be redirected to your Competition landing page where they can instantly enter from their mobile device.
