Guests can join your event at any time and won't be live until their scene is live. Whether the guest is live or not they will be able to see all the same things in the Greenroom.

Here's a look at everything your guests will see before the broadcast goes live.

1 & 2. Guest Video Feeds: All guests in the Greenroom will be able to see each other.

3. Muted: When guests are muted, this icon will appear next to their name.

4. Connection Quality: Allows guests to monitor the quality of their connection. If their internet is slow or slowing down at any point in the stream they will notice fewer bars and get help to try and improve the connection.

5. Guest Chat: a text-based chat that is only viewable to Effi users and guests. The audience watching your stream will not be able to see private chat messages.

6. Mic Mute/Unmute: where guests can mute/unmute their mics.

7. Camera On/Off: where guests can turn their cameras on and off. Should a guest turn off their camera, they and everyone in the Greenroom will see an avatar in its place.

8. Guest Settings: menu where guests can see their details and change camera and mic sources.

9. Element Live Preview: if there is an element live in the scene like a poll or meter, guests will be able to see it in the Greenroom as well.

10. Audience Chat: guests will be able to see all incoming chat messages from all the platforms you are streaming to. This will always be viewable to your guests but messages will only come in once the broadcast is live.

11. Help: like users, guests will have access to our help center and support from the Effi team.
