The interactive elements of a Crowdcast event are stacked vertically on the far right side of the event window if you join from a computer. If you join from a mobile device, these will be at the bottom of the screen.
You can start using these as soon as you’ve registered for the event.
Interactive Features for Attendees
The chat is a great place to say hello and introduce yourself before the event goes live. Chat lets you communicate with the host and other attendees before, during, and after an event. If you hover over the comments of others, you can add an emoji reaction. If you hover over your own comments, you’ll also see the option to edit or delete your comment.
The Question & Answer section is where you can submit questions or leave a comment on someone else’s question. You can also upvote questions that others have submitted. Once the host has answered the question, you will be able to view it in the answered tab.
Polls may be available if the event host has chosen to use this feature. There may be one or multiple polls available.
The People tab is where you can see who else is registered for the event and whether they’re currently active in the session. If you don’t see this section, the host may have opted to hide it.
How to Request to Join the Stage
If the host has allowed attendees to request to join the stage, you will see a hand icon at the bottom of your screen. Click this hand to request to join the stage.
Once you’ve requested to join the stage, you may need to allow Crowdcast to access your camera and microphone. You should see a pop-up where you can select Allow.
After granting Crowdcast permission to your camera and mic, a pop-up will appear where you can select your preferred camera and mic input and then save your request to join the stage. Once the host accepts your request, you will appear on camera.
