Facilitate greater audience engagement and interaction by allowing your attendees to share their own screens and presentation materials during sessions.
Hosts now have the option to allow attendees to share their own screens and slide decks during sessions, which facilitates greater audience engagement and interaction. Once this feature is active, attendees can share PDF presentations and their own screen using the multimedia control panel on the top of the webinar room screen, in the same way that presenters and admins share their screens/slides.
How can I allow attendees to share their screens and slides during a session?
In your webinar dashboard, navigate to the Edit tab. In the lefthand navigation menu, select Advanced Settings and locate Room Control Permissions.
In Room Controls Permissions you have the option to select, Attendees can share mics and webcams or Free for all. The first allows attendees to use their microphones and webcams but blocks them from admin capabilities like muting others or ending the webinar.
The Free for all option gives all attendees admin-level privileges, which will allow them to mute or kick out other attendees or even end the webinar (So take caution when enabling this feature).
If you simply want to allow your attendees to share their mics/webcams and slides, select Attendees can share mics and webcams. Additional settings will appear. If you'd also like them to be able to share slides and their screens, select those options from the list.
- Allow attendee to share slides: Attendees can upload a PDF slide deck and share it during the session.
- Allow attendee to share screen: Attendees can share their screens during the session.
- Prompt attendee to share camera and mic on enter: When this feature is active, attendees are given the option to activate their microphone and/or webcam while they are entering the webinar room.
You also have the ability to enable attendee's cameras and microphones from within the live webinar room. Click here for more information on how to do so.
