Shared links are an easy way to share your training with a large audience quickly. They are anonymous access so there is no need for them to setup credentials ahead of time. They will simply click the link and be able to join the lesson after entering a nickname.
In order to create a shared link the project must be uploaded to a workspace the contains licenses. You can create shared links from the Modest Tree Portal or through the admin website
Select the workspace your project is in from the workspace dropdown and click Change
Click the Create New Link Button at the top left of the shared link table.
Fill out the shared link form:
Type: Currently all links are Non Reserved meaning the link will not completely freeze the licenses for use in this one link. If a user goes to use the link and all your licenses are already in use elsewhere, they will not be able to use the link. Make sure you have enough licenses that will be available to the audience you are distributing to.
Number of Licenses: Defines the maximum number of users that can ever use this link at the same time.
Start: When the licenses will become active for the link to be used.
Expiry: When the licenses will be deactivated and shared link is no longer valid.
Attach to a Project: What project will the shared link direct the users to.
Default Lesson: What lesson should users be loaded into first.
Multiplayer Room: Defines whether the users will load into the same room or separate single player instances.
Compatible Platforms: Defines what platforms the shared link is good for.
Click Create Link
The link will now appear in the table.
