This quarter, we focused on expanding customization, improving analytics, and integrating powerful tools to help you host seamless and engaging events.

Here’s a roundup of everything new this quarter:

Live Studio Enhancements

Our Live Studio product, the core tool for hosting webinars and live events, received some powerful updates this quarter:

• Custom Branded Backgrounds
  Now you can upload your own branded background images for live events. This creates a polished and professional look for your audience, fully aligned with your brand identity.
  • Event-Specific Backgrounds: Set unique backgrounds for individual events to match specific themes or campaigns.
• Guest Presenter Green Room
  A brand-new feature for producers and guest speakers.
  • Communicate with guest presenters backstage before they go live.
  • Coordinate cues like “You’re on in five minutes” or rehearse last-minute changes privately.
  • Guest presenters can also talk to each other before going on stage, ensuring smoother transitions.

These updates give producers more control and flexibility while improving the overall live event experience.
