Virtual Events Addon for MEC

The Virtual Events Addon for MEC is a professional extension developed by Webnus for the Modern Events Calendar (MEC) ecosystem on WordPress. Its purpose is to transform any in-person event into a complete virtual experience, allowing organizers, educators, and businesses to manage webinars, online classes, workshops, and live streams directly from their website, without relying on fragmented external solutions.

This addon integrates natively with MEC, both in its Lite and Pro versions, and adds a dedicated configuration panel within each event. From there, the administrator can enable the virtual functionality with a simple toggle and customize all access details: private links, secure passwords, and embed codes for platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom, or any iframe-compatible service. Additionally, it allows displaying visual badges in shortcodes and in the sidebar of the event page, so visitors can instantly identify which activities are online.

One of its most notable strengths is its smart visibility logic. The administrator can configure access data to be shown only to users who have completed a booking or ticket purchase, or make them public to everyone. It is also possible to schedule the appearance of these details within a time interval before the event starts and automatically hide them when the stream is already live, thus protecting sensitive information. For recurring events, custom virtual details can be defined for each occurrence, which is ideal for weekly classes or series of sessions with unique meeting links.

Communication with attendees is also enhanced through email placeholders that automatically insert the link, password, and embed code into notifications sent after booking. This eliminates manual tasks and reduces communication errors. Furthermore, the addon is compatible with the frontend submission form (FES), allowing contributors to propose their own virtual events.

In short, the Virtual Events Addon for MEC is the ideal solution for online academies, marketing agencies, conference organizers, and any business that wants to centralize the management of their digital events, offer a professional experience to their attendees, and monetize their virtual activities with total security and control.
