All your published presentations will appear on your ShowTime profile. Your attendees can view, download, and provide feedback on the presentation. ShowTime's profile page gives you an online resume which is very similar to your LinkedIn and Facebook profiles. 

Customize a session
Choose what kind of a session you would like to create - Face-to-Face or a Remote session. Face-to-face sessions are used when you and your attendees are in the same room. Remote sessions are useful when you have attendees spread across multiple locations.

To make a session interactive, you can run polls and request shy attendees to pose questions using their mobile devices or laptops. To engage attendees, request them to 'like' a slide when they feel the content was informative and useful.

Make custom attend URLs
To add a personal touch, customize the attend URL while you schedule a session. You can customize it on the Session Details section and share it with your attendees so they can register and join your session. Your attendees can simply connect through https://attend.zoho.com/MYKEY.

People clapped to show their appreciation and booed to show their disapproval since the Roman times. Even today, in many senates and parliaments 'yays' and 'nays' are registered verbally. But, how can one genuinely measure audience response? The solution was in the form of an Audience Response System (ARS). An ARS is a tool that is used to connect speakers to their participants. This helped in measuring audience

This feature is especially useful for remote learning, where trainers need to stay connected with an audience they can't directly see. When communication is only one-way, there's less engagement.

However, our users access the app on both laptops and mobile devices, and freezing columns makes reports nearly unusable on smaller screens.

It appears that Zoho People can only calculate overtime per day.  How do we fix this? Here is an example: Mon      8 hours Tues      7 hours Wed      9 hours Thur      8 hours Fri            8 hours -----       Total      40 hours (no overtime) However, Zoho people says 1 hours of overtime because the employee worked 9 hours on Wednesday. Maybe I have something setup wrong in Zoho People?
