Hosts, moderators, and speakers each have different roles during a live streamed session:
- Host: The host has a lead role when streaming. They typically create the live stream in Backstage, invite the moderators/speakers, start and end the broadcast, while also steering, coordinating and animating the discussion during the broadcast.
- Moderator: The moderator's role is to assist the host during the live stream. The moderator will not participate as a speaker in the session, but will act behind the scene and focus on moderating Q&A, launching polls, and/or managing live transitions between content or speakers are being broadcasted.
- Speaker: A speaker is anyone, besides the host, that will speak during the live stream.
As a host, moderator, or speaker, there are certain actions you can perform before and during the live broadcast in Studio:
