Attendee Count in Session & Event for Organizers

To see the number of attendees inside your event at the current time, click the Profile button in the upper right corner of your event (you may see your photo or your initials in the Profile circle):

When you open this profile dropdown, you will see a section called Event Information.

Next to the Total Attendees you will see the number of attendees inside your event at the current time. 

Next to the Session Count you will see the number of people actively viewing the session that is currently live. 

• If you have multiple sessions live, you may see an arrow next to Session Count. If you click this arrow, you will see a list of your live sessions and the number of attendees viewing those sessions. 

These numbers will update approximately every 30 seconds as people move in and out of your event. 

The attendee count is only visible to organizers, never to speakers or attendees. 

These numbers will always reflect one additional attendee. This is the Goldcast Recorder bot, which is ensuring your event recordings are captured properly. 

Attendee Count in Session for Speakers

Speakers can hover onto the stage and see the attendee count at the bottom left section of the stage. By default, this count will be visible to all speakers of the session. 

Organizers can disable the People Watching count in the Studio in case they choose not to disclose the count to speakers.
