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. 
   
3. Once you’re inside the event space, click your avatar in the top-right corner to open the profile menu.
4. Turn the See Attendee View toggle on. 
   
5. Click Switch in the popup in the bottom-left corner. 
   

Once you click Switch, the entire page reloads with a red banner indicating you’re viewing the event in attendee mode. You can also notice the Attendee tag next to your avatar on the top-right of the screen.
