What Is Presenter Actions?

Presenter Actions is an ON24 feature that records and reports on the activities performed by presenters during a webinar or virtual conference. These actions may include when presenters advance slides, launch polls, open resources, respond to Q&A, begin screen sharing, or take other engagement-driving steps throughout the event.

This summary view provides event organizers with operational clarity and performance visibility, helping teams understand how presenters used the platform’s tools and how their actions contributed to overall event engagement. Presenter Actions is accessible post-event within ON24’s analytics and reporting tools. To explore the platform capabilities that support this feature, visit the ON24 Platform.

Why It Matters

Presenter behavior significantly shapes audience engagement. When presenters use interactive features—such as polls, Q&A, or resource downloads—they create richer participation opportunities and a more dynamic learning environment. By reviewing Presenter Actions, teams can identify which tactics were used successfully and which engagement tools presenters relied on during the event.

These insights support presenter coaching, event design improvements, quality assurance, and strategy alignment across recurring webinar programs. They also help event managers pinpoint moments where audience engagement rose or dropped, enabling more informed planning for future sessions.

For organizations using webinars strategically across their digital engagement programs, Presenter Actions help ensure that interactive elements built into events—like those highlighted on the ON24 Webinars Page—are being used effectively.

How It’s Used

• Event Analysis and Review: Teams use Presenter Actions after a webinar to review which features presenters activated, including slide progressions, poll launches, and live interactions. This helps identify which elements contributed most to engagement.
• Presenter Coaching and Training: Organizations compare the behavior of different presenters to determine who effectively uses engagement tools. This informs coaching programs and onboarding for new presenters.
• Workflow Optimization: Presenter Actions reveal the timing and frequency of interactive moments, helping teams refine run-of-show plans and improve pacing for future events.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Marketing, field teams, and subject matter experts use the report to align on audience expectations and understand how presenters executed the planned narrative.
• Quality Control Across Programs: For recurring webinars or virtual conferences, Presenter Actions provide consistency. Teams can check whether presenters used required features or followed standard operating procedures.
