Displaying a chat message, a question or a poll on screen in a Session

  • Updated

Displaying chat messages, questions and polls on screen is a great way to engage your audience, reflect the overall atmosphere, and organize your presentation effectively. This guide explains how to highlight a chat message, a question or a poll in a Session room or an Expo Booth set up as Session.

Highlighting a chat message

To display a chat message on the screen in a Session, hover a message in the chat area and click Highlight message.

This action will display the chat message on the bottom left of the screen.

To remove the highlighted message, hover over it in the chat area or on the screen directly and click Stop highlighting message.

Highlighting another message or question will automatically replace the currently displayed one.

Note: If no other message is highlighted, the message will remain on the screen for a minute and then be automatically removed.

Highlighting a question

To display a question on the screen in a Session, hover over a question in the Q&A tab and click Highlight message.

This action will display the question on the bottom left of the screen.

To remove the highlighted question, hover over it in the chat area or on the screen directly and click Stop highlighting message.

Highlighting another message or question will automatically replace the currently displayed one.

Note: If no other message is highlighted, the question will remain on the screen for a minute and then be automatically removed.

Highlighting a poll

To display a poll on screen in a Session, hover over a poll in the Polls tab and click Highlight poll.

The poll will be displayed on the screen as a separate video tile. Attendees can participate directly on screen by selecting their option and clicking Submit Response. Voting results become visible on the screen, just like in the Polls tab.

To remove the highlighted poll, hover over it in the Polls tab or on the screen directly and click Stop highlighting poll.

Note: Unlike highlighted messages and questions, highlighted polls do not disappear automatically. Once you highlight a poll, it will remain on the screen until you manually remove it or choose to highlight another poll.

Tip: You can highlight a poll and a message or a question at the same time.
