Admin enjoys audience status but speakers and hosts dont
Jun 10, 2021
As an admin, you Go Live/End up in the audience/join panel if you want to be on stage.
Perfect if you intend just watching rather than speaking
But what happens if several speakers are part of the same session, but only one wants to be live on stage whilst the others watch in the audience?
Its not an option, how about a 4th option to go along side Speaker/Host/Moderator call it panellist and give them the same process as an admin - Go live/be in audience/join panel or better still upgrade the Moderator option

I get that Atul but what about an event with multiple speakers in the same session like an award ceremony. If they remain backstage they miss the action, if they go live and its not there turn to speak they clutter the stage.
I had an event last week with 2 hosts and 9 presenters each with a 3 minute presentation, we had them raise hand and it worked but it was clunky.
We invest time with speakers and admins so educating them with go live/join panel is easy, it wont be hard at all in fact the benefits far out way the negatives.
Goal for backroom is to make it easy to coordinate. If the speaker goes to the front-stage (invisible like an admin):
a. more confusion in the process
b. harder to coordinate / timing / ensuring they get on stage when needed
What you are asking for is an option to stream whats happening on the front-stage on the backstage. is this correct?
If yes, its there in the plan at some point. Hope to get to it soon. unless, its a critical painpoint.
