New live stage UI updates coming your way
We are excited to bring a new set of live stage UI changes that will make hosting and attending live sessions a comfortable experience. Here’s what is changing:
1. Minimize the right-side panel for an immersive viewing experience:
- Use the “Arrow” in the extreme right of the right-side panel to minimize the panel and pull it back up as and when required.
- Make it possible for attendees to enjoy an undisrupted view of the session.
- You will notice a red dot appear over the manage tab icon to alert you whenever there is a new raised hand request. Attendees will see a red dot alert whenever there is a new chat or poll.
2. The right-side panel got a makeover
- We are switching the tab names you would normally find with a new set of icons. So there’s more space for everything all around.
- All the activities that you as a host would need to manage are now grouped under the “Manage” tab. You will find raise hands, pre-uploaded videos, and stage integrations right here.
3. Session timer and attendee count are moving to the top left corner of the live stage
The changes will reflect on events starting Dec 3, 2021. We would encourage you to call out the changes to your attendees before the start of your next event. This will make it easier for them to enjoy a superior event experience. Watch the detailed video walkthrough for more details.
Spotlight your key speakers by hiding inactive speakers on stage
Choose who should appear on the live stage from the set of speakers mapped to the session. Use this option to highlight your active speaker on the live stage and keep the audience's attention on them. You can hide inactive speakers from the audience's view and bring them back on stage when it is their turn to contribute.
You can view the list of speakers to hide/show on stage by clicking on the “Host & speakers” option on the stage.
Note: Hide speaker feature will be available to all the events created after Nov 27, 2021, by default.
Get in touch with our support at support@airmeet.com visit our 24*7 Support Lounge to get it enabled for your events created before the above mentioned date.
Turn Your Past Events Into On-demand Sessions with Event Replay
Now, turn your event URL into a gateway of session recordings after your event. This update lets your attendees rewatch completed sessions all in one place. You can also convert your event recordings into lead magnets and turn them into on-demand sessions.
Plus, if you’ve applied restrictions to specific sessions, only the eligible participants will access the recording of such sessions, maintaining exclusivity.
NOTE: The Event Replay feature will be available for events that are created on or after the 3rd of November 2021.
Boost your event collaboration with private speaker chat
Keep in touch with your speakers via chat during the live session. Use the private chat to resolve issues, address concerns, and communicate with each other. The chat will be always on and can be accessed anytime during the session.
Note: The chat cannot be hidden and will be visible during the screen share session.
