About
The Participants tab (people icon) lets you see who's in the session, including each participant's role and stage status. You can also manage your own microphone when you're on stage.
Speakers can't manage other participants' roles, permissions, or stage presence.
The Participants tab is available for live sessions with a Kaltura Room component.
Understand participant groups
Participants are automatically grouped to help moderators quickly see who’s doing what in the room:
- Raised Hands* – Participants who requested to join the stage.
- On Stage – Participants currently sharing audio/video
- Viewers – Participants watching the session
Each group shows:
- Number of participants
- Participant names
- Role labels (moderator, speaker, or custom permissions)
*Icons for raised hands and microphone are displayed when relevant, to the right of each name.
You can click the arrow next to each group name to collapse or expand it. If a group is large, use See more or See less to control how many names are shown.
Search for participants
Use the search bar at the top of the list to quickly find someone in the room.
As you type, results show:
- Matching participant names
- Which group they belong to (Raised Hands, On Stage, or Viewers)
Mute your microphone
When you're on stage, click the microphone icon next to your name to mute or unmute yourself.
