How to: Edit Fireside Session Displays & Settings
Engage with attendees LIVE with hosted Fireside sessions that allow the audience to raise their hand and join presenters on stage.
Fireside sessions are live broadcasts featuring a "Join Stage" button that allows attendees to raise their hand and join presenters on screen to ask questions and contribute to the conversation. Hosts select attendees to join from the queue and then take them off stage as needed.
