Hide Chat/Questions/Attendees

Managing attendee privacy and engagement is crucial for protecting proprietary information, preventing competitor scouting, and maintaining focus during live sessions. Livestorm provides comprehensive controls to restrict feature visibility and hide participant data from the general audience.

Implementing strict privacy controls helps mitigate common security and operational risks during high-profile or public events:

• Preventing Competitor Intelligence: If competitors register for your events, hiding attendee lists and interaction tabs prevents them from scraping your lead data or analyzing your audience profile.

• Protecting Attendee Data Privacy: Restricting public visibility prevents participants from cross-referencing names to search for or solicit other attendees on external networks like LinkedIn.

• Minimizing Live Distractions: Deactivating or restricting public chat helps keep the audience focused entirely on the presenters and presentation content rather than side conversations.

If you need to adjust these permissions, access your Event Dashboard go to Settings and click on Room.

Your privacy settings allow you to:

• Turn off the Chat tab completely.

• Turn off the Questions tab completely.

• Toggle on "Private Questions" to restrict question visibility exclusively to hosts, moderators, and external speakers.

• Turn off the Polls tab completely.

• Restrict People tab visibility exclusively to hosts, moderators, and external speakers.

• Mask last names for all general attendees to enhance audience privacy.

• Grant PDF download permissions so participants can save local copies of shared presentations.
