KollabiuMYou run an online conference right from the broadcast: bring people on stage, keep order, switch layouts, share presentations, answer questions, and record. This article is for conference owners and moderators.
How to bring someone on stage?
The stage is for whoever is presenting right now with video and sound. Everyone else watches.
- Tap a participant → "Invite to stage". They'll see "You are invited to speak" and can choose for themselves: "Join the stage" or "Not now".
- "Remove from stage": send them back to the audience.
- Turn on "Allow raising hands" so viewers can tap "Raise hand". You'll see them under "Requests" and can invite them on stage.
- "Make everyone a speaker": for small meetings where everyone talks.
Keeping order in the room
In a participant's menu:
- "Mute microphone" or "Ask to turn on microphone";
- "Make moderator": owner only;
- "Remove from broadcast";
- "Block": the person won't be able to come back.
Layouts
The "Layouts" button changes the screen layout for everyone at once:
- "Conference": tiles for each presenter;
- "Education": for lessons and lectures;
- "Video + presentation": slides with the presenter next to them;
- "Presentation": one presenter shown large;
- "Video and chat": video and chat side by side.
You can "Pin for everyone" a tile or "Expand for me".
How to share a presentation?
Upload a PDF or PPTX file (up to 50 MB and 100 pages) in the "Materials" tab or right during the broadcast. Tap "Slide presentation" and flip through the slides. The owner, moderators, and speakers can upload files. The owner and moderators can show any file; a speaker can only show their own.
Chat and questions
On the right, you'll find "Chat and questions". Everyone can talk in the chat, while the "Questions" tab is where participants ask the hosts questions. A moderator reviews questions first: "Approve", then "Mark answered". You can turn off or clear the chat in the settings.
How to record a conference?
Tap "Start recording", and "Recording in progress" will appear at the top along with a timer. The owner, moderators, and speakers can record. How many recording hours you get per month depends on your plan or package. To find out where to find the recording afterwards, see "Conference recordings: find, download, share".
Ending the broadcast
When the owner leaves, they choose between "Leave the room open", so moderators can carry on without them, and "Close the room for everyone".
