This tab, only visible to moderators, is where you can discretely discuss the session while it’s happening, curate key questions from the chat, and make decisions together on the fly.

Can you tell how engaging your sessions are? Well, yes!
We’ve added even more insights and data points to our analytics dashboard, across all session types. The best part is that you can see these amazing insights on every person that attended your event!
Event hosts will see exactly how engaging their session was by following along the dashboard to see crowd reactions and engagement rates. Or in other words- did attendees laugh at your jokes? Did they cheer when something exciting happened? Were they focused on the conversation?
If you want a closer look, check out the heatmap, offering a detailed view on every single attendee and how they engaged in the session.
After the event is over, the data collection continues during the VOD period. Event managers can now track and compare the same data points from the live event, for every attendee.
So you can go right ahead and carry on learning and gaining insights across events, and over time, for better and (even) more successful events!
