Event types: in-person, online, and hybrid

When you create an event on Cloomba you choose how and where it takes place. There are three options.

---

In-person

The event happens at a physical location. You enter an address and Cloomba displays a map on the event page. The location is also used for local discovery — people browsing events in that city or area can find your event.

You can optionally hide the exact address until someone registers, which is useful for events at private venues or residences.

---

Online

The event happens over a video call or live stream. Instead of an address, you enter a meeting link — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, YouTube, or any URL. The link is shown only to people who have registered, keeping it out of the public event page.

---

Hybrid

The event has both a physical location and an online component. You set an address and a meeting link. Attendees can join either way. Both the location and the link are shown to registered guests.

Changing the type after publishing

You can update the event type and its location or link at any time after publishing. If you make a significant change — switching from in-person to online, for example — it is good practice to send an event update to notify registered guests straight away.
