The headline features

Everything that makes FrogsDen Live Events different from what you're used to.

Listener live chat

Real-time chat runs alongside your show. Your audience can react, discuss, and engage without leaving the page. Links in chat open in new tabs so audio keeps playing. Viewers can follow speakers directly from chat. Slow mode (30s, 60s, or 120s) keeps conversation manageable when things get busy.

Private team chat

A dedicated private chat channel just for the Host, Co-Host, and Content Manager. Coordinate who to bring on stage next, share notes, flag issues, and plan transitions while your show is running. Your audience never sees it.

Screen sharing

Share your screen to present slides, show videos, display documents, or walk through any content as a talking point during your show. Perfect for presentations, interviews with visual references, or live demonstrations. Your audience watches in real time while audio continues seamlessly.

Site-wide event promotion

Your events appear on the Events Discovery page, visible to every FrogsDen user. When someone RSVPs, an "I'm attending" badge appears on their profile, giving your event organic visibility across the entire platform through your attendees. Every RSVP spreads the word further than your usual communities.

Anyone can watchNO SIGN-UP

Your event page is fully public. Anyone with the link can listen to the audio, watch your screen share, and read the live chat. No FrogsDen account required. When they want to interact, a gentle prompt invites them to sign up. Zero friction for your audience.

Opus codec audio

48kbps+ Opus audio. Echo cancellation, noise suppression, and auto gain control are on by default. No configuration needed. Your voice sounds like you're in the same room.

The Vault

A numbered resource panel attached to your event. Drop links and say "check out item 7 in the Vault." Every link gets a numbered card with an auto-fetched preview. Your audience always knows exactly where to look. Links open in new tabs so audio never stops.

Automatic recording

Every show is automatically recorded from the moment you go live. No setup, no plugins, no third-party apps. The recording is available for replay on your event page for 7 days. If the Host disconnects, the backup recording from your Co-Host or Content Manager takes over seamlessly.
02

Customise your event page

Every event page is yours to design. Make it match your brand, your community, your style.

Your event, your identity

Every event gets its own dedicated page with full theme customisation, completely separate from your profile. Choose your colour scheme, upload a custom banner image, write your event description, and showcase your team. Add an optional 1-minute intro recording so visitors can hear what your show is about before it starts. Your event page is the first impression for everyone who clicks your link, and you control every detail.

Custom banner

Upload a banner image up to 50MB. If you don't upload one, the system auto-generates a clean banner from your event details. Your banner also appears in OpenGraph share cards when people share your event link on X, Discord, WhatsApp, or anywhere else.

Intro recording

Record a 1-minute audio introduction that plays on your pre-event page. Let potential attendees hear your voice, understand your topic, and decide if this show is for them before it even starts.
03

Automated chat messages

Set messages that appear in the live chat at intervals throughout your show.

Up to 3 rotating messages

Set up to 3 auto-messages that appear in the live chat at intervals of 10, 20, or 30 minutes. Use them to share fundraiser information, promote the guest on your next show, pin important links, or remind your audience about anything that matters during your event. Your event, your decision.

04

Screen sharing

Present, demonstrate, and bring visual content into your live show.

Presentations and slides

Share your screen to walk through slide decks, documents, or dashboards. Perfect for educational shows, team updates, or any discussion that benefits from visual references.

Videos and content

Show videos, articles, social media posts, or any on-screen content as talking points during your show. Your audience sees exactly what you see, in real time. Screen sharing can be started, stopped, and reassigned to other team members mid-show.

Screen sharing is available to the Host, Co-Host, and Content Manager on desktop browsers. Mobile listeners can view screen shares but cannot initiate them (operating system limitation). Only one person can share at a time, and control can be handed between team members on the fly.

05

Your team

Up to 3 people running the show. Speakers and guests join the stage, not the team.

Host

1 (required)

Full control over everything. Start and end the event, manage the speaker queue, moderate chat, assign every role, share your screen, and manage the Vault. This is your show.

Co-Host

1 (optional)

Every power the Host has. If the Host disconnects, the Co-Host is automatically promoted. Start and end the event, manage speakers, moderate chat, ban users, toggle slow mode, set auto-messages, and take over screen sharing.

Content Manager

1 (optional)

Same permissions as the Co-Host. Manage speakers, moderate chat, ban users, handle the Vault, control screen sharing. The only thing the Content Manager can't do is assign other Co-Hosts.

06

On your stage

Speakers and guests join the conversation, not the management.

Guest Speakers

Up to 4

Pre-announced guests of the show. People being interviewed, panel members, or anyone you've invited to appear. Visually distinct with a "Guest" badge. Assign them during event planning with invite links, or promote someone mid-show. Guest Speaker slots are separate from regular speaker slots.

Speakers

Up to 10

Audience members who want to ask questions or get involved in the conversation. They request the stage via the "Go on Stage" button. Every speaker must pass a mic check first. You see the queue in request order and manage it however you like. Unlimited rotation throughout the show.

07

Chat moderators

Trusted members of your community keeping the chat clean.

Up to 2 moderators per show OPTIONAL

Trusted members of your community or extended team that can kick disruptive users from chat for the current show. Banning disruptive people from all future events is reserved for the Host, Co-Host, and Content Manager. Moderators are assigned during the show by any member of the team.

08

The speaker queue

Mic-checked, chronological, and completely under your control.

1

Listener requests the stage

They tap "Go on Stage" and their browser runs a mic check. Real microphone input, real audio level meter. If they can't pass the mic check, they can't submit their request. No broken mics on your stage.

2

Chronological queue

The queue shows requests in the order they came in. First come, first served. But you're in charge. Follow the order, or skip ahead to someone specific without your audience knowing. Your call.

3

Mute when needed

If a speaker forgets to mute their mic or background noise becomes an issue, the Host, Co-Host, or Content Manager can temporarily mute them. A mute indicator appears on their speaker card. Remove speakers at any time and bring new ones on. Unlimited rotation throughout the entire event.

09

The show never stops

Automatic failover keeps your event running even if you disconnect.

Auto-failover

If the Host closes their tab or loses connection, the system automatically promotes the Co-Host to Host. If there's no Co-Host, the Content Manager takes over. Your audience might not even notice. The recording continues uninterrupted because the Co-Host and Content Manager run independent backup recordings throughout the show. If the Host drops, the backup recording becomes the primary. No gap in the audio. No lost content.

10

Recording and archives

Every event is automatically recorded. No plugins, no third-party apps.

Automatic recording

Your show is automatically recorded by our MediaRecorder system from the moment you go live. Audio is captured and securely uploaded throughout the show. You don't need to press record, install anything, or think about it at all.

Backup recordings

The Host records the show as primary. The Co-Host and Content Manager each run independent backup recordings simultaneously. If the Host disconnects, the backup recording is already captured. The show continues under the new Host and no audio is lost.

7-day archive

After your event ends, the recording is available for replay on the event page for 7 days. The Vault links stay accessible too. You get a push notification 2 days before it expires.

Audio recording

Recordings capture the full audio of your show. If you need to capture what's on screen during a screen share, use your local screen recorder alongside the event.
11

The Vault

Your numbered resource panel for sharing links with your audience.

Numbered links your audience can find instantly

The Vault is where you put your relevant links for the show. To make things run smoother, you can pre-load the Vault with links before you go live. Alternatively, you or any member of your team can add links in real time during the show. Every item placed in the Vault is numbered, so your audience can find exactly what you're talking about. Say "check out item 3 in the Vault" and everyone knows where to click. Links open in new tabs so audio never stops playing.

12

Soundboard

Set the tone when your show opens and sign off with style.

Two optional audio clips, up to 1 minute each

Optionally upload a quick voice message explaining the show is starting soon, a brief intro music piece to set the tone, or an outro to sign off with style. Two clips, up to 1 minute each, played through the same audio stream as your voice. Use them or don't. Your call.

13

The event lifecycle

Four stages, each designed with purpose.

PRE-EVENT

Build anticipation

Countdown timer, custom banner, event description, team cards showing your Host, Co-Host, CM, and Guest Speakers. Optional 1-minute intro recording. RSVP button with "Add to Calendar." Timezone display. "X people attending so far" counter. Full theme customisation for your event page.

LIVE

The main show

Stage with speaker cards. Optional screen share. The Vault. Live chat with follow buttons. Speaker queue. Team chat. Listener count. Share button. Auto-messages on rotation. Soundboard. Slow mode. Full moderation controls.

WIND-DOWN

20 minutes to wrap up

When you end the event, audio stops but chat stays open for 20 minutes. A countdown shows "Chat will close in 19:42." Your audience wraps up naturally. No abrupt cut-off. Conversations land properly.

ARCHIVE

7 days of replay

Recording available for playback. Vault links stay accessible. Host gets full analytics. After 7 days, the event page is removed. Expired URLs redirect to the Events Discovery page.

15

Keep listening while you browse

Your show keeps playing wherever your audience goes.

Persistent sidebar panel

If your listeners want to browse FrogsDen while listening, the event page transitions into a persistent sidebar panel that keeps the audio stream playing. Screen share, chat, and audio all stay active. If links are clicked from the Vault, new tabs open and the show continues playing. On mobile, a floating bar at the top of the screen shows the current speaker and a chat toggle.
