How a live session
actually runs.
A walkthrough of what SeatView does before, during, and after the room. Written for presenters and event teams, not engineers.
Getting ready for the room.
Calm, repeatable presenter setup. The kind of pre-flight you stop thinking about by the third event.
Create a session, drop in your deck
Upload your PDF or exported slides from the presenter dashboard. Fonts, layout, and timing stay exactly as you designed them. No re-rendering, no surprises on stage.
Open the presenter view
Your current slide, the next one, your speaker notes, the timer, and a live attendee counter, all in one calm workspace. Built so you can look up, not down.
Pair your clicker once, forget it
Logitech, Kensington, and Apple keyboards pair over Bluetooth from the toolbar. Your trackpad, keyboard, and clicker all advance the room in sync.
Pause for two seconds after the headline. The room will start highlighting. Let them.
What attendees actually experience.
No app, no account, no friction. Just a phone in a hand, following the room.
Attendees scan and they're in
The on-stage QR code opens the live view in their browser in around a second. No app store, no account, no email gate. We measure it because guests notice.
Every seat follows the room
When you advance, every phone advances. When you zoom into a chart, attendees see it the same instant. Late joiners land on the current slide automatically.
Highlights, notes, and quiet Q&A
Attendees tap a line to highlight it, pinch to zoom, type a private note, or send a question. You see signal, not noise. The room participates without interrupting the talk.
What happens after the room ends.
The room is gone, but the signal stays. This is where SeatView becomes more than slide sharing.
A personal annotated deck for every guest
When the session ends, every attendee gets their own copy of the deck, with their highlights and notes baked into the right pages. Branded, in their inbox, within minutes.
What landed, on which slide
A slide-by-slide engagement curve shows where attention peaked, which lines were highlighted most, and which questions came up. Not vanity charts; the evidence the talk worked.
A recap your team can act on
Export the full session report as PDF or CSV, share it with sponsors, plug the signal into your CRM. Audience intelligence that outlives the event.

Real rooms. Real Wi-Fi. Real recovery.
Everything you'd want a stage-critical system to handle quietly, so you never think about it from the wings.
Venue Wi-Fi, captive portals, and offline recovery
SeatView is whitelisted in most conference venues. If the connection drops mid-talk, slides keep advancing locally, and attendees catch up automatically when the room reconnects.
Browser and device support
Presenter: Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox on current versions. Attendee: any modern browser on iOS 15+, Android 9+, ChromeOS, macOS, or Windows. Older devices fall back to a clean text mode.
Live captions, translation, accessibility
Captions and live translation run on WebRTC. Type sizes scale, contrast respects system preferences, and keyboard navigation is supported end-to-end.
Clickers, recovery, and the small things
Re-pair a clicker in two clicks. Resume a paused room from any device you're signed into. If you walk off stage with the laptop closed, the session waits for you.
