Adjusting session times

No more stressing about whether your session is over or under running!  With the new session controls you can adjust your session timings on the fly right from the Admin Panel, without having to go to the Workspace. 

The sidebar shows you the current end time and a countdown timer to the end of the session. If you need to extend your session time you can do so by clicking on the “Change end time” button on the right. On the drop-down menu you can select “+ 15 min”, “+ 30 min” or “+ 1 hour”, or set a custom end time. You can also choose to end or start a session immediately. 

Viewing session-level statistics

Event admins can now access key statistics for each session without having to navigate to the Workspace. You can easily keep track of the participation rate for your sessions and even send announcements to boost the participation rate.  

Below are the statistics displayed for each session type. 

Managing session settings 

For each session type, you can also access key settings that you may need to turn on and off during the session from the side bar so you can always be on top of the incoming audience responses.
