The stage is at the center of a session/room and is a dynamic area for hosts (and attendees when applicable) to move on/off stage at any time. The stage is always on for sessions/rooms using the Webinar theme. However, it is configurable for those using the Workshop theme (on by default) and Meeting theme (off by default).
Learn how to configure and manage the stage
Joining the stage from the center tile
When the stage is toggled on, all hosts in the session/room will see a center tile with a stage. Upon clicking Join stage, hosts can immediately join the stage and take over the center tile. This button will disappear when there is 1 or more persons on stage.
Taking the stage from the Attendees panel
When the stage is toggled on, all hosts in the session/room will see a section in the Attendees panel for those that are on stage versus in the room. Upon clicking Take the stage, hosts can immediately join the stage and take over the center tile. This button will continue to be here, regardless of whether there is anyone on stage.
Joining the stage from the Host Controls panel
When the stage is toggled on, all hosts in the session/room will see a section in the Host Controls panel for managing the stage. Upon clicking Join stage, hosts can immediately join the stage and take over the center tile. This button will continue to be here, regardless of whether there is anyone on stage. Hosts can also add others to the stage from this panel.
Leaving the stage
When anyone is on stage, they will see a banner at the top of the screen to indicate they are live on stage. To leave, simply click the Leave stage button in the banner. If someone leaves the room or closes their browser tab, they will automatically be removed from the stage.
