# How to Customize the Live Audience Experience

## Customize your webinar room's background, interactive panel, content stream and banner ads with their colors, logo and more

Using the classic admin? [Click here](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/hc/en-us/articles/360049665432-how-to-enable-live-attendee-experience#session_admin) to learn where you can find the Attendee Experience settings.

**Live Attendee Experience** provides hosts greater control over the appearance and flow of their webinar or online event. Live Attendee Experience enables hosts to customize their webinar room's background, interactive panel, content stream and banner ads with their colors, logo and more.

This feature also allows hosts more control over attendee interactions. In this mode, attendees can't use their webcam or microphone, and can only interact with the presentation through the polls, Q&As, chat rooms and other modules on the room's interactive panel. 

**Note:** The Live Attendee Experience settings shown here is for the Classic layout. [Click here for more information](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/new-attendee-experience-modular-view?hsLang=en) on customizing the Modular layout. 

### How to Enable and Customize Attendee Experience

Note that the following instructions will be focused on the **classic webcast** view. For more information on the modular view, [click here to learn more](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/new-attendee-experience-modular-view?hsLang=en).

To edit the attendee experience, visit **Production \> Live Experience**.

You also have the option to **Show left panel with webinar and presenters info**. This setting will show a new section of the webinar room that displays the webinar description as well as all [presenters](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/how-to-add-presenters-to-a-webinar-or-virtual-event-session?hsLang=en) who are set to show in the live room. This is a great way to keep your users informed during the live session.

When you are finished, click **Save and Exit** or **Preview** to preview the room. Once saved, your audience room is ready to go and will appear like this for all webcast attendees.

### Attendee experience in the classic admin
