Live chat, moderated Q&A, & polls
A scrolling side-panel lets attendees chat in real time, queue questions for moderator approval, and vote in single- or multi-choice polls that you can preload or launch on the fly. Launching polls at short intervals can help keep participants engaged and available for the entire session duration, resulting in a higher watch time compared to the non-interactive format. When to enable- Keynotes and demos where you need fast feedback loops.
- Ask-Me-Anything sessions that rely on audience questions rather than prepared slides.
Audience gallery view
Gallery view places attendee webcams beside the presenter’s feed, restoring eye contact in fully-remote settings. Speakers gauge nods, smiles, and puzzled looks just as they would in a physical auditorium—and the audience feels “seen.” Ideal scenarios- Internal town-halls where body language matters
- Cohort workshops or mastermind groups that thrive on peer visibility.
Request-to-join stage
The “Raise Hand” button promotes vetted audience members to full-on-stage status—video, audio, screen-share—while hosts retain absolute control over approvals and removals. The feature shone at a company’s safety-management panel: on-the-ground experts joined mid-session while a backstage producer verified credentials to keep the discussion authoritative. Ideal scenarios- Live coaching clinics or portfolio reviews.
- Investor pitch sessions where founders cycle on and off quickly.
Visitors to stage
Sometimes you want faces—clapping, laughing, reacting—without the risk of live microphones. Visitors to stage displays attendee cameras in a silent strip beneath the speakers; the audience can use emoji bursts but has no mic privileges. Perfect for high-stakes launch keynotes where spontaneity is welcome but control is non-negotiable.Session-specific engagement tools
Each session can have its own mix of chat, polls, Q&A, and file downloads, and instant exit surveys. A technical lab might need file drops for code samples; an executive briefing might disable chat for confidentiality, yet keep an exit survey to gauge strategic interest. Auto-launching a survey at the session clock’s final second routinely nets 50 %+ response rates—five times higher than post-event email surveys.1-to-1 meetings & private chat
A built-in scheduler and direct-message channel convert passive attendance into scheduled demos, partner calls, or candidate interviews. Ticket tiers or access groups can gate who books whom, ensuring relevance. At one SaaS road-show, a “VIP lounge” generated 100 plus 15-minute demos in a single day—compressing a month of outbound work into an afternoon.People directory
A searchable roster—filter by name, role, company, or interest—puts self-service networking at every attendee’s fingertips. Sponsors cherry-pick high-value leads; community members find peers fast. One APAC partner summit saw vendors filter by “Country = Singapore” and lock same-day calls, accelerating local pipeline without manual introductions.Leaderboard & credits
Point values for actions — entering a session, scanning a booth QR, answering a poll—feed a live leaderboard that sparks friendly rivalry. A B2B SaaS Expo matched ten points to every booth scan and enjoyed a 35 % traffic jump year-over-year; sponsors hailed the analytics as proof their investment paid dividends.Call-to-action banners
To capitalize on a peak-attention moment, schedule CTAs to glide over the video window and link to any URL—pricing page, donation form, or ebook. A fintech launch fired “Start Free Trial” two minutes before closing remarks and landed a 12 % click-through rate, far outpacing links lost in chat scroll. When to use- Pricing reveals or product-hunt launches.
- Sponsor sessions that warrant a direct conversion link.
