What's New in EngageLive

Business plan customers can now configure SAML 2.0 or OIDC SSO via the Account → SSO / SAML tab. Supports Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and any standard IdP. Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning automatically creates accounts for new SSO users. Contact support to activate for your org.

Every significant org action is now logged immutably — member invites, permission changes, SSO config updates, plan changes, and data exports. Exportable as CSV for compliance reporting.

Upload a .csv or .xlsx file with an email column to bulk-add participants to your whitelist. Drag-and-drop support included. Up to 10,000 emails per upload.

Org owners can now control precisely what each team member can access — analytics, audit log, branding management, whitelist management, and result exports can each be toggled independently per member.

New analytics section in Account → Dashboard. Shows sessions-over-time chart, hour-of-day heatmap (best time to host), weekday activity distribution, activity type effectiveness (times used + avg responses), and top 5 most engaging sessions by response rate.

Dashboard KPIs now show % change vs the previous period — sessions, participants, responses, and response rate all have trend arrows and percentage deltas.

Pro and Business plan hosts had ads correctly removed for themselves, but participants were still seeing ads in some cases. This is now fixed — ads are fully removed for all participants when the host is on a paid plan.

Participants drag items into a 2×2 matrix (e.g. Effort vs Impact, Urgent vs Important). Aggregate heatmap shows crowd consensus. Available on Pro and Business plans.

All participants draw on a shared real-time canvas simultaneously. Multiple pen colours, eraser, and undo. Export as PNG after the session. Available on Pro and Business plans.

Export all activities, branding, and settings as a single .engagelive package file. Import it in any session to restore everything instantly. Images are embedded in the package.

Upload a spreadsheet to create multiple activities at once. Download the template from the host sidebar → Bulk Import. Supported types: poll, quiz, Q&A, word cloud, survey, rating, ranking.

Pro and Business plan hosts can now enable participant upvoting on questions and hand-raising. Host can see upvote counts and reorder questions by popularity.

New hotspot mode — show two images side-by-side, participants click to identify differences. Up to 8 differences per pair. Results show which differences each participant found.

The quiz countdown timer was sometimes out of sync between host and participant views on mobile devices. Fixed by syncing timer state through Firebase on each tick.

GDPR Article 28 compliant DPA now available at dpa.html. Countersigned copies available within 2 business days for paid plan customers. Covers EU, UK GDPR, and Indian DPDP Act.

Comprehensive security documentation at security.html. Covers controls table, data flow diagram, sub-processor list, incident response, and vulnerability disclosure policy.

Business plan orgs can now set their logo, brand colour, and organisation name. Branding automatically applies to all sessions hosted by any team member in the organisation.

Any host can now export all their data — session history, activity results, account details — as a JSON/CSV bundle from Account → Data & Storage → Download My Data.

Hosts can now permanently delete their account and all associated data from Account → Profile → Delete Account. Deletion completes within 30 days as per GDPR requirements.

Add an image to either side of each matching pair. Useful for flag-to-country, term-to-image, and symbol-to-meaning matching activities.

Host can now show a fullscreen leaderboard to all participants at any point during a quiz, not just at the end. Supports top 10, top 20, or full leaderboard views.

Hosts can customise the session accent colour and choose from 4 font families (Default, Professional, Rounded, Mono). Applied to all participant-facing screens.

New activity type — free text responses with no character limit. Host can browse and star individual responses. Results export as a CSV of all text submissions.

NPS questions now show detractor/passive/promoter breakdowns live. Emoji scale (😞😐🙂😊🤩) added as a survey question type with aggregate display.

Host controls now work on mobile — launch, pause, reveal, and end activities from a phone. Essential for presenters who move around the room.

If a participant submitted the same word twice (e.g. by refreshing), it was counted twice in the cloud. Now deduplicated per participant.

Restrict who can join your sessions by email address. Manage the list from Account → Whitelist. Toggle enforcement on or off anytime. Add participants mid-session from the host sidebar.

Invite colleagues to host sessions under your organisation. All team members share the plan's participant and session limits. Manage from Account → Team Access.

New template browsing UI with category filters, preview mode, and one-click load into session. Contributors can now submit templates directly from the host interface.

Session list now shows duration, number of participants, number of activities run, and a direct link to download the session PDF report without reopening the session.

Mark individual activities as Draft — they remain hidden from participants until the host manually launches them. Useful for building a full session in advance.

Show a grid of images and ask participants to find the one that doesn't belong. Configurable grid size (2×2 to 4×4). Correct/incorrect feedback shown immediately on submit.

Ask participants to place their answer on a numeric scale (any range, any label). Live distribution histogram shown to host. Useful for agreement scales, temperature checks, and NPS-style single questions.

Export full session results as .xlsx directly from the session or session history. Includes raw responses, option-level counts, timestamps, and participant names (if collected).

QR codes now render at higher resolution and include an optional custom label below the code ("Scan to join" or your company name). High-res download for printing on screen or slides.
