This guide explains how to manage engagement features (confetti, emoji reactions, raising hand) and the permission to request Studio access in the RingCentral Events Studio, as well as how each functionality works.
Managing engagement settings
Studio defaults to enabling all engagement features (confetti, emoji reactions, raising hand) and disabling the ability for Attendees to join the stage (applies to Sessions only). To manage these settings, go to the Settings tab in the Studio panel. Toggle each option on or off to enable or disable it.
Confetti
Confetti is an engagement feature that enables Attendees and Speakers to express appreciation by sending confetti. If this option is enabled within the Studio, attendees can trigger this effect by clicking on the video tile or screen share on the screen. It provides a fun way to acknowledge a speaker or highlight presented data on the slides.
Emoji reactions
Speakers can use emoji reactions when participating on the screen to communicate their sentiments without causing interruptions during the meeting. To trigger the effect, they need to click the Emoji icon in the Speaker Controls and select one of the available emojis. The emoji will be placed on their video tile for a few seconds and disappear automatically.
Raising hand
Speakers can raise a hand to signal their intention to ask a question or contribute to the discussion without interrupting the flow of conversation. To trigger this, click the Hand icon in the Speaker Controls. The Hand icon will be placed on the speaker's video tile to notify other speakers. After speaking or once their question has been addressed, they can click on the same Hand icon to lower their hand.
Attendee join stage
In a Session room, you can allow Attendees to enter the Studio by clicking Join Stage. Inside the Studio, they will have the same permissions as Speakers.
Note: Requesting Studio access is not available on a Stage.
Organizers and assigned Moderators will need to admit attendees manually. The Stage tab in the Studio panel will display the number of requests. To approve or decline these requests, click Requests and hover over the selected person. You can also click Accept all to approve all requests.
