Ever been hosting a webinar and wondered, “Okay, but who’s actually in the room right now?” You shouldn’t have to guess or wait until after the event to find out. Now you don’t have to.

What’s New

You can now view a real-time attendee list during your live webinars. Just click the viewer count to see exactly who’s watching, complete with names and email addresses. The list updates on its own as people come and go, so you always know what your audience looks like in real-time.

You’ll also spot two handy tabs: Watching for real-time viewers, and Banned for anyone you’ve removed from the event.

Why it matters

This gives you instant visibility into your audience so you can make smarter, more personal decisions on the fly. Plus, hosts can ban (and unban) attendees right from the panel if anything gets disruptive, keeping the experience smooth and distraction-free.

A few things to know

  • Available to webinar hosts on Advanced and Premium plans
  • Only works during live events
  • Registration must be enabled (and using a Wistia form)
  • Supported for webinars with under 500 registrations

Spin up your next webinar and click the viewer count to see the new attendee list in action.
