Rounds' live briefings are real - Product News

Funders' briefings on Rounds now stream live from the host's own browser, with comments, a watching count and a reminder when one goes live.

Rounds is the community app, separate from Backed's grant management, so this has no Help Centre article.

What's new

  • Live briefings. Live in the sidebar lists the briefings coming up, in Sydney time, and shows the one on now. A briefing opens on its own page, so it can be shared.
  • Streamed from the host's browser. A host goes live from their briefing's host page with their camera and microphone, or shares their screen, and can mute or turn the camera off. There is nothing to install. Up to 20 members can watch at once; when a briefing is full, the next member is told so and can try again.
  • Watch and talk. The stage shows how many members are watching. Comments appear as they are posted, and the player has its own mute.
  • Remind me. Tap Remind me on a briefing coming up and you are notified when it goes live.
  • No recordings yet. A briefing streamed from the host's browser is not recorded, so when it ends, it has ended.
