The back office is the content management hub for the games2gether platform. Here Devs and Admins can customize the platform to meet the needs of your Universes and communities. The back office includes options to redesign your landing page and to update Universe features, from organizing forums to reviewing ideas.

The back office also includes tools to help you track activity on the platform. Dashboards are a way to visualize engagement with Universes and individual features. Lists can be filtered to highlight what content is trending or to show posts that still require a response from your team.

Additional moderation tools, Twitch drops, and options for editing Universes can also be found in the back office.

Currently some set-up and customization options need to be handled by the G2G Dev team. We are committed to giving you as much control over the platform as possible. Our Devs are actively working on ways to reduce clients’ reliance on our team and to give you further autonomy through the back office. Speak to your account manager for further details.

Contact your account manager for access to the back office.
