How attendees vote for talks

Written by Benjamin Dell

Signed-in attendees can use the thumbs-up button while viewing a talk in its broadcast or video view. Each attendee can have one active vote for a talk; selecting the button again removes that vote.


​

Turn talk voting on or off

Voting is enabled by default. As an organiser, go to Event Settings > Event Experience > Live & Replay Experience and find Enable talk voting?. Choose Enabled or Off, then select Save.


​

Enable talk voting setting with Enabled and Off choices
  • Turning voting off hides the vote controls on your event site and prevents new votes.

  • Existing votes are kept, so you can turn voting back on later.

  • Turning voting off also removes voted-session highlights from daily digest and wrap-up emails.


​

See the results

In your event dashboard, go to Content & Schedule > Reports > Sessions. On a wide desktop view, the Engagement column shows comments and votes. Widen the window if that column is hidden, or export the report to review the vote data.

Votes in event emails

When voting is enabled, the daily digest can highlight up to three top-voted talks from the previous day, and the wrap-up email can highlight voted sessions. Highlights appear only when eligible sessions have votes. The separate daily-digest preference still controls whether its voted-session section is included.
