Streaming Rooms

Learn how to use streaming rooms for live broadcasts, webinars, and company-wide announcements.

Streaming rooms on Pivot are designed for live broadcasts to larger audiences, such as webinars, events, or company-wide announcements. These rooms provide an organized and interactive platform for engaging with viewers while maintaining control over the stream as a host.

Before the Stream Starts

Countdown to the Stream

Before the stream begins, attendees will see a countdown timer indicating when the session will start. This ensures everyone is prepared and ready to join at the designated time.

Request to Speak

During the countdown, attendees can request to become speakers. This allows the host to manage who will actively participate in the session.

View Attendees

You can also preview the list of people who will be attending the stream, giving the host insight into their audience ahead of time.

During the Stream

Stream Status

Once the stream is active, attendees can see:

• Who’s watching: A live count of viewers participating in the stream.
• Who’s speaking: A list of current speakers, allowing for easy management of discussions.

Request to Speak

Viewers can continue to request speaking permissions during the stream, providing flexibility for live interaction and contributions.

Chat in the Side

The real-time chat feature allows attendees to participate actively while the stream is ongoing. Click the chat icon at the bottom of the room to open the chat panel. Engage in live discussions, post questions, and share thoughts with both the host and other attendees.

Restreaming

Host Controls for Restreaming

As a host, you can restream your live session to other platforms or locations, maximizing its reach. To enable this, click the gear icon in the Streaming Room and select the Restream option.

You can configure the destination (e.g., a social media platform or another room) and start the restream. This feature is ideal for extending the audience to external viewers or parallel groups.
