Use Presentation Zones to create areas for Q&A, Presentations, or other situations for Microphones and Crowd Control.

Using a Presentation Zone

Guests

When anyone enters a Presentation Zone they are shown a popup at the bottom of the screen.

Choosing "Yes" opens the People Menu. You can also select the People Menu without clicking the popup.

When in a Presentation Zone there is now a new tab in People for the specific Zone.a

Admins and Guests can click Current Zone in the broadcast distance menu. For guests, this will intiate a request for zone-wide broadcast, and enter that guest into the queue system.

Admins & Presenters

Admins have Zone-Wide Broadcast Access & Mute Zone Functionality to mute everyone within the Zone
Presenter Role can use Megaphone and give zone-wide broadcast access.

Combining Video Screens with Presentation Zones

Ensure screen components are muted. Let the presentation zone audio govern.
Consider leaving play distance to full-space if you're not running multiple stages
Use broadcast to make announcement to the whole space regularly (ensure your megaphone is muted while doing so, and ensure you're disconnecting from broadcast when you're done with the announcement)
