Track Participant Attention

During your event, you can easily tell if attendees are no longer focused on your presentation. The attention indicator shows if an attendee has minimized the event window or brought another window in front of the event window.

After an event ends, you can generate reports to obtain data about individual attentiveness. A report contains this information for each attendee:

  • Attention-to-attendance ratio: Attentiveness based on how long the attendee was in the event.

  • Attention-to-duration ratio: Attentiveness based on the duration of the event.

The attention indicator is unavailable when the host and panelists are in a practice session.
