Every Rehearsal and Live Stage needs a Stage Manager assigned to it in Ex Ordo. The Stage Manager’s primary job is to host and manage their assigned Rehearsal or Stage until it goes offline. This article will show you how to assign a Stage Manager to a Rehearsal and a Live Stage.
Before assigning your Stages and Rehearsals Stage Managers, you need to add them to Ex Ordo Virtual.
