Previously , hosts needed to keep the time for their breakout sessions on a separate device. Now, our breakout rooms include timers, so hosts can control the duration of discussions and automatically end them at a pre-set time.

Hosts can share links to post-webinar feedback surveys while the session is still live. These surveys can appear as pop-ups on each attendees’ screen — or hosts can paste the link into the Sticky Note inside the room to keep the link pinned to the top of the chat.

Previously, hosts could only distribute handouts in the form of a downloadable PDF. Now hosts can either distribute handouts as PDFs or provide an external link to these assets.
