Reactions in Presentation Mode

Reactions in Presentation Mode are a great way for a presenter to get a sense of how their audience is feeling about their presentation in real-time.

There are 3 Reactions currently available in Presentation Mode:

1. To react, simply click on the Reaction you'd like to react with. These are all displayed on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen

2. The Reaction will then float up on the right-hand side of your screen (along with any other reactions from the audience)

Reactions in Conversation Mode

Now, you can also use Reactions in Conversation Mode to express your feelings on tables!

There are 6 Reactions currently available in Conversation Mode:

1. To react, simply click on the "Reactions" option on your bottom toolbar and select the Reaction you'd like to react with.

2. The Reaction will then appear on your video tile, so others at your table can see your reaction, AND appear above your avatar, so others in the event can see your reaction.

Your video tile at the top will show the Reaction. Above your avatar, you can see the reaction.
