Fermion’s Stage feature is designed to make live sessions more interactive and engaging. It allows instructors to bring selected participants to the forefront, enabling them to share their screens, turn on their microphones and cameras, and actively participate in discussions.

​
Managing Participants on Stage

Livestreaming on Fermion allows you to invite multiple students and instructors to the call. Currently, you can have up to 50 participants on ‘Stage’, allowing them to screenshare, turn on their microphone and camera to interact with the participants. For smaller sessions, instructors can also automatically add everyone to the stage
for better communication between a small group of people. On the right pane, you can see a list of participants who are present in your livestream. Enable Automatically add everyone on stage? checkbox to ensure all participants are on the stage and can interact with others. Add everyone to stage Additionally, this option can be globally toggled from: Settings → School Settings → Livestreaming settings. toggle-autoadd-to-stage

​
Promoting users to hosts during live session

Fermion allows instructors to promote users to hosts during a live session.
Hosts have similar privileges to instructors: they can manage participants on stage, access the whiteboard, screenshare, and control audio/video settings for other users. If they are promoted as hosts, they will also have the ability to end the session for everyone.
1

Open the Participants panel

During your live session, open the Participants panel from the right sidebar to view all active attendees. Make sure to add the user to stage first.
2

Find the user you want to promote to host

Click on the green shield to make the user a host. You will be prompted with a confirmation screen.
3

Assign host role

The selected user will instantly gain host privileges, including the ability to: - Access and interact with the whiteboard - Bring others on or off the stage - Mute/unmute other participants
You can assign multiple hosts in the same session. This is especially useful for co-instructors, teaching assistants, or guest speakers who need control over the live session or whiteboard.

Sharing System Audio

Live sessions often go beyond just visuals - you might want to play a tutorial video or share a demo with your live class. Fermion now allows instructors to share system audio while presenting on Stage, ensuring that any sound played from your device is heard clearly by all participants in real time. Here is how you can share system audio:
  1. Join the Stage during a live session.
  2. Click on Share Screen.
  3. In the sharing dialog, enable the “Also share tab audio” option. Share System Audio
  4. Select the tab you want to share and confirm your selection by clicking Share.
  5. Begin your livestream. Participants will now hear both your system audio and your voice in real time.
