This article contains the release notes for the releases of the Floq.live web app, mobile app and Floq Studio done in Q1 2025.
25 March 2025
Features and improvements
Sync with EventsAir
- Attendee data from EventsAir can now be synced in realtime to Floq Studio. After setting it up, any changes you make to the attendees in EventsAir, are instantly updated in the attendee list in the studio; no manual or scheduled sync is needed
- When an event in the studio is linked to an event in EventsAir, favourites and check-ins are synced to EventsAir to allow for further analysis or data processing there.
Accessibility improvements
- Filters on list pages can now be used with only the keyboard.
- When opening the floor plan search with the keyboard, the focus moves to within the sidepanel so you can directly continue from there.
- When opening a conversation with the keyboard from the conversations list that opens with the button top right, the focus moves to within the conversation and you can easily go back from there.
- The semantic HTML has been improved in different places to allow for easier navigation with a screen reader.
Other
- Representatives can now upload slideshow images on the exhibitor dashboard when editing their profiles. Optionally, slideshows can be linked to a URL. The same process as for other data coming from this dashboard is in place: it will have to be approved by the event organiser first before it's visible to all attendees.
- In the studio, the lock icon is always shown for items imported with a channel, not only on hover.

Features and improvements
Allow exhibitors to update their profile
You can now give invited representatives the right to update their own exhibitor profiles. You can do so through the data editors, sections Representatives and Representative features. An invite is sent to them after saving this page.
The representatives will get access to a new exhibitor dashboard, that can be opened through the web app. In the dashboard, they can edit their own profile information, such as the company description, banners, videos and links.
Representatives submit the updated profile for approval by the event organiser in the studio. Here you can use a filter and then batch-accept the updates by selecting the updated items and pressing Accept updates in the toolbar.
You can also check an individual item to see what the representative has updated and to review the information. Saving the page accepts the changes.When you make a release, the updated information is available to attendees as well.
Hide widget in a layout
You can now hide a widget in one of the layouts (Mobile/Tablet and Web) while keeping it visible in the other layout. This allows you to create different home pages for the mobile app and the web app. On the options button of a widget, choose Hide widget in Mobile/Tablet/Web layout.
This will move the widget to the Hidden widgets section, that you can expand and collapse with the Show/Hide hidden widgets button the top right.
Please note that in order to support this in the mobile app, you will need to have the latest app version. Users that have an older version of the app, will still see all widgets. The web app supports the hidden widgets already and will not show them.
Accessibility
- An alt attribute was added to images in different places, such as banners and profile pictures, in order to improve the usability of screen readers.
- Different colours of buttons and links have been updated to improve the contrast ratio.
Other
- In the Menu page and in navigation pages, you can now directly see where the item links to, instead of having to press Edit to see it.

Bug fixes
Data editors
- Some data was not being updated in the mobile app when it was updated with a channel and then released. This issue has been resolved.
- In Floq Studio, sessions were incorrectly displayed under the wrong day, despite being correctly scheduled in the app. The order is now correct:
- When updating fields in the General section with an Excel import, of which the original value was imported with a programme data sync, these fields are locked so that they are not overwritten the next time the data sync runs.
Other
- Sessions without specific order names were being randomly sorted in the web app. They are now sorted alphabetically.
- Videos in on-demand rooms had no audio, even though the original files contained sound. This has been fixed.
- The screens on the attendee dashboard and presentation view are no longer flashing when two placeholder images are added and the session is not yet broadcasting.
-
Join as moderator/attendee now works when a session has registration on. Before, the button would lead to a non-existing link.
- When using Vote & Ask in non-virtual rooms, the presentation screen no longer requires refreshing to update the results.
- In Floq Studio, the Filter by tag dropdown in list page was limited to displaying only the first 100 tags, preventing users from selecting additional options. Now a search is added, so that you can also access the tags not being in these first 100.
- When changing the room type in the studio to On-demand from the session page, it is no longer wrongly updated to be a Poster presentation or Round table session in Virtual & Interactivity, but instead is set to Moderated room here in order to correctly display the video in the web app.
18 Feb 2025
Features and improvements
- The icon library in the studio now contains an additional set of icons. Please note that the mobile app will have to be on version 126 or up to support these new icons. Web app supports them out of the box.
Bug fixes
- The Integrations page, Programme sync tab is no longer refreshing every 20 seconds.
11 Feb 2025
Features and improvements
- In the studio, you can now choose to publish a silent release, or one that will show a notification to all attendees that have installed the event. Click the dropdown next to Publish release and choose Publish release with notification. Attendees will then see the message on the right. Please use this mindfully and only for important releases in order not to overwhelm users with many notifications.
.
- On navigation pages, the validation when choosing the link type URL has been updated to not only support https:// and http:// links, but also internal app links starting with cc://. Examples are
cc://my-profile
to open the side menu, orcc://my-conversations
to link to the list of conversations. - When on the floor plan page viewing an institution by selecting its location from the search, you now directly see its details on the right if it has the side panel layout, or you see a button to the full-screen exhbitor booth.
Bug fixes
- Opening the floor plan page by selecting a location, for example when selecting the room of a session or the booth of an institution, now works as expected on small screens. Before, these links would sometimes result in a white screen, or a screen containing all sessions in the selected location.
28 Jan 2025
Features and improvements
Session registration
You can now allow your attendees to register for sessions through the app. Within any session, you can turn on the toggle for Registration required. You can then choose for built-in or external registration. Optionally, you can set a capacity for the session. When the capacity is full, other attendees can no longer register for the session. Below Registered users, you can find a list of all users that have registered in the app. It's also possible to remove attendees from this list.
If registration is required, a label is added above the session name in the daily programme page and in the session page. A Register button is added next to the bookmark and note buttons. If a total capacity is set, this is visible in the button, along with the current number of registered attendees. When clicking the button, a confirmation message is shown. After confirming, the button changes in Registered. The session is then added to the personal programme of the attendee.
Other
- Direct links to the event registration and abstract management portals are now available from the side menu within an event. These links can be made visible in the advanced settings of the app (event registration) or the event (abstract management).
- When hovering over the widgets of the event landing page, the pointer now changes in a hand instead of remaining a text cursor. This makes it clearer that the widgets can be rearranged.
- A loader is added in the Save button on the Pages menu item.
- You can now set a custom string for the text to appear on the Happening now widget when there are no sessions ongoing. Search in the language strings for the text There are no events happening now and adjust it how you want it.
16 Jan 2025
Features and improvements
- In list pages, you can now add tag types for attendees to filter the list on. Think of allowing attendees to filter an exhibitor list by product group, or a list of posters by topic.
- When you go to different tabs or apply different filters in your event data tables, you are now redirected back to the previous view when clicking the back button in the browser. Before, you would be redirected to the page you viewed before the event data.
- When no channel is added on the Integrations menu item, the button to run a channel at the top right is not visible.
- Various improvements were made to list and daily programme pages that contain a page banner.
- Improvements to the landing page on the web app:
- Navigation tiles are now properly resized in order to minimize cropping of the image.
- The border that was shown around videos linked in a news message has now been removed so that it looks the same as the video in the dedicated video widget.
- The sponsor banner is right-aligned with the rest of the tiles.
Bug fixes
- When restricting access to a group, for example for a society screen tile or event page, the group is now visible right after selecting it. Before, it was added but not visible in the interface.
- When a list page was grouped, for example by classifier or initial, but grouping is turned off, it is now turned off on the web app as well instead of still being grouped.
- When deleting an item that was imported from an Excel sheet and then restoring it from the recycle bin, its id remains the id set in the sheet. Before, it was updated to the database id.
- When adding a (rectangular) sponsor logo to a programme item, this logo is no longer resized when viewing the programme item page in list view on the web app on small screens.
