Choose between Private and Public mode

The Audience Engagement pod is automatically set to Private mode upon creation of your event.

In Private mode:

• Attendees can only see the questions they have submitted themselves.

• Attendees cannot communicate with each other.

• All questions are visible only to Producers and Presenters in the WorkCast Studio.

• Producers and Presenters can choose to make individual questions and responses public.

 

The Audience Engagement pod can be changed to Public at any time by clicking the red Private bar on the pod. This can also be changed back to Private at any time.

In Public mode:

• Attendees can see all questions and comments that have been submitted.

• Attendees can communicate with each other, but not privately.

• Attendees cannot see how their question or comment has been organised.

• Producers and Presenters can respond to questions privately on an individual basis.

• Attendee names and personal details are not visible.

Easily organise your questions

All questions go directly to the Inbox, where they can be organised by Producers and Presenters in the WorkCast Studio.

At the top left, you can toggle the view to show only unanswered questions. You can also sort questions in ascending or descending order based on when they were submitted.

 

 

 

Click on a question to see more options to interact with it. You can reply, move a question between the different tabs and make visible to the attendees.

Reply publicly or privately to questions

Questions can be replied to by Producers and Presenters in the WorkCast Studio.

Clicking Send will deliver the response using the current mode of the Audience Engagement pod. For example, if the pod is in Private mode, the reply will be sent privately; if in Public mode, it will be sent publicly.

You can also click the dropdown on the Send button to choose whether to Send Publicly or Send Privately, regardless of the current mode.

All replies—whether private or public—will appear in the event reporting.

Be prepared: add seed questions

Seed questions are great to have prepared for any event in case you don't get any many or the type of questions you would like or to ensure presenters are highlighting some of the main points.

You can add seed questions straight to your Audience Engagement pod via the ADD SEED QUESTION button in Inbox.

Seed questions will show as Anonymous (seeded) in the Studio view. In the attendee view no names will show on any question or comment, whether seeded or not.

Once added, seed questions can be interacted with like any other question, including made visible to attendees or moved to Priority.
