Introducing the “Open House” feature in Zoho ShowTime

Introducing the “Open House” feature in Zoho ShowTime

Hi all! 


Zoho ShowTime has always kept pace with exciting innovations and great ideas. Our objective is to focus on effective team collaboration and greater attendee engagement for every training session.  

Open Mic access enables the attendees to communicate directly with the trainer one at a time during a session. However, we understand that all discussions and conversations cannot be streamlined with individual views. 

Introducing Zoho ShowTime's "Open House". The open house feature creates a platform for multiple attendees to participate in discussions and clarify doubts simultaneously.

Here's how Open House makes your training more interactive.

1. As a trainer, you can now unmute the mic for all the participants of your session, offering them access to speak whenever they feel it's appropriate. Once an attendee accepts your invitation, they can contribute to the conversation and help you explore a variety of perspectives on the topic. 

2. You can mute the mic for any participant if you feel the discussion can be made more effective by concentrating on fewer individuals.  

3. Furthermore, you can revoke any attendee's mic access completely. Your attendees can individually request Open Mic access anytime to talk during the session.  



We believe the Open House feature helps you simulate a real-time learning environment by bridging the gap between physical classrooms and virtual sessions. A good discussion can help your attendees  contribute to the success of the session. We hope all our trainers are enriched by this upgrade and deliver successful training. 

Feel free to know more about our " Open House " feature here. For queries, do comment below or write to us at support@zohoshowtime.com

    • Measure your audience response - The ShowTime Way.

      Raising one's hand was the ancient style of getting people to acknowledge a speaker. 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

    • Help your attendees find their voice with Zoho ShowTime's Open Mic feature.

      Make your training more of a conversation by giving your learners the power to contribute to your sessions with the Open Mic feature in Zoho ShowTime. 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.
