What Is the Console Builder?

The Console Builder is a visual editing tool within the ON24 Intelligent Engagement Platform that enables B2B marketers to design audience-facing webinar and event consoles. With its drag-and-drop interface, users can customize layout, appearance, and functionality to match their brand’s look and feel.

This intuitive builder makes it easy to add interactive features such as Q&A panels, polls, surveys, chat widgets, resource lists, and calls-to-action (CTAs) — transforming passive viewing into active participation. The Console Builder is where form meets function: every element placed strategically enhances engagement and encourages interaction.
