With the contact-free situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations tend to host virtual events instead of conventional offline events Since many things should be handled through the online operations, the traditional system for offline events should be re-designed to support the whole process of virtual events In this paper, we propose an architecture of an all-in-one platform for virtual conferences The platform provides full services required by a virtual conference which is easy enough for both IT and non-IT experts The platform provides tailored functions and menus according to the specific size, nature, and field of an academic event Experimental results show that the parallel upload function of the proposed architecture achieves significantly higher upload speed for sharing a presentation video after the recording ends, compared to the usual video upload function © 2020 IEEE
