Audience members watching from a computer using Chrome or Edge can request to join the live studio session and be recorded through a live call-in. This can make a live streaming session more interactive by giving viewers the opportunity to join the conversation, where they can ask a question live or share their thoughts on a topic.
Hosts and producers must review the audience member's request to join the studio and be recorded. They can choose to accept them on screen or decline their request by following the steps below.
