The Studio Media section is designed to give hosts full control over shared content and is not visible to speakers, crew, or moderators - though these roles can still share media through the Media Tray. You can enable media sharing for anyone on stage, including attendees, while maintaining structure: only one person can present a specific media type at a time (for example, two people cannot share slides simultaneously). However, the platform does support up to two different media types being shared at once, such as slides and video running together.
