Review session metrics
The Live stage displays key information about your session:
- Unique viewers – The current number of viewers.
- Chat mood – A quick view of the current chat mood as positive, neutral, negative, or quiet.
- Turnout – The percentage of registered attendees who are logged in to the session.
- Engagement rate – The percentage of viewers who are actively watching.
- Time to end – The time remaining in the session.
Chat mood displays when AI assistant is activated for your account. When AI assistant isn't activated, Turnout displays instead.

Keep track of new activity
Red dots show you when there's new activity in an area you're not currently viewing.
When the Live stage panel is open, the red dot appears on the relevant icon:
- Chat - a new message is available
- Q&A - new activity is available
- Feed - a new item has been published to the feed
- Backchannel – a new message is available
Red dot on the Feed icon indicates new activity in the FeedThe notification dot disappears when you open the area with the new activity.
When the Live stage panel is closed, a red dot appears on the Live stage icon if there's new activity in Chat, Q&A, Feed, or Backchannel.
When you open Live stage, the red dot appears on the icon for the area with new activity.
The red dot only indicates activity that occurs after you join the session. If you refresh and rejoin the session, activity tracking starts again from that point.
Monitor stream health
Stream health monitoring is only available in the Kaltura webcast studio during a live stream.
