Activating the kiosk for a virtual fair
1. To activate the kiosk for a virtual fair, navigate to the fair in Handshake: Click Fairs from the left menu column, then use the filters on the left of the page to narrow down displayed results and locate the necessary fair.

3. Enter a custom headline that students will see before they check in.
4. Click the blue button Activate check-in to enable the kiosk.
Requesting a new event

2. Select your Hosting Details - if you have the event management module, you'll be able to choose Handshake Video.
If you are using an External video platform, fill out the Web Host URL field in order to enable check-in.
- Handshake requires a web host URL to know where to send the student to once check in is complete. Use your company’s career page, every student will be redirected to this page after they check in.
- If your event has a Non-Handshake Registration URL you will still need to add a Web Host URL if you want to use the virtual check-in kiosk feature.
3. Once a valid Web Host URL is entered, you will see a new field to enable Student check-in. To enable check-in, check the box for Request that students check in for this event via Handshake.
4. Finish event creation as normal, and click Save in the lower-right corner to create the event.
