How To View Your Event as an Attendee

Learn how to use attendee mode while you're backstage.

Have you ever wondered what your event looks like to your attendees? Goldcast has a handy feature lets you quickly switch to attendee mode from your organizer profile. 

With the enhanced stage controls, you cannot join the event as an attendee from the backstage. This is where attendee mode comes into play, as it allows you to view the event as a live audience. 

Turn on attendee mode

Follow these steps to view the event in attendee mode:

  1. Log into Goldcast Studio and open the event you want to view. 
  2. Click Event Space on the left-side menu to enter the Event Stage. Alternatively, you can also click the Enter Event button on the event dashboard.
