Purpose: a concise support article to help you quickly check whether miingl has the capabilities your workshop, webinar, podcast or community event needs. This page highlights miingl’s distinctive features first, then the powerful engagement and admin tools that make virtual gatherings feel human and easy to run.
Skim the short descriptions to see what it does and why it matters. Unique features are listed first so you can evaluate whether miingl fits creative, hands-on, or community-driven formats. If you want a hands-on checklist, jump to the Quick host checklist at the end.
What it does: visually create and join small conversation clusters inside the venue. Click a person or spot, and you’re in a focused group to talk, workshop, or ideate.
Why it matters: it recreates those hallway conversations and small-group breakout moments that make workshops productive and memorable.
What it does: bring one or more participants to the front stage for a short presentation, demo or Q&A. Any audience member can raise their hand; the host or cohost brings them to the stage to ask a question, demo a problem, or join a discussion. After their turn they return to the venue. Hosts can also remove someone from the broadcast back into the venue.
Why it matters: Call-to-Stage makes live troubleshooting and QA remarkably simple. Instead of reading questions from chat and patching things together, you can bring the asker to the front, see their screen or hear their question in real time, and resolve issues on the spot — faster, clearer, and more human.
What it does: switch a live networking-style venue into a webinar (broadcast) with a single click — and switch back later. The room’s layout and participants remain in place while the controls and audience behavior change to match a presenter-led format.
Why it matters: run mixed-format events without friction. Start with open networking, flip to a presenter-led keynote, then return to group work — all without losing momentum or asking attendees to relocate.
What it does: hosts can make an announcement that mutes notification sounds for everyone and broadcasts a host announcement (including announcing host video/audio), prompting attendees to rejoin the main venue or leave clusters.
Why it matters: quickly reset attention across many simultaneous conversations — perfect for time checks, transitions, or calling groups back together.
What it does: guests can join up to 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to network with or without the host present.
Why it matters: gives people time to form relationships and warm up before the program starts, creating a better kickoff and higher engagement.
What it does: after all hosts and cohosts leave, participants may continue connecting — the venue remains open until everyone departs.
Why it matters: supports afterparty conversations, follow-up networking and continued collaboration without forcing a hard close.
What it does: share your screen in the main venue, inside clusters, or during a webinar/broadcast. Screen-share is independent of broadcast — you can share without switching formats.
Why it matters: supports demos, walkthroughs and hands-on work no matter how your session is organized.
What it does: hosts call participants forward for presentations and can return them to the venue; participants may also leave the broadcast themselves. Hosts do not have timing controls built into the tool — presenter flow is managed live.
Why it matters: intuitive control over who’s presenting keeps sessions flowing and lets you respond to engagement or QA needs quickly.
What it does: attendees create and join clusters and move between them. Hosts do not control cluster membership directly.
Why it matters: empowers attendees to self-organize while giving hosts tools to manage the larger session.
What it does: start an audio-only one-on-one from the sidebar inside a cluster, or connect across clusters for private quick conversations.
Why it matters: makes it easy to grab someone for a short, focused check-in without leaving the session.
What it does: any participant can send a message to everyone or open private/group threads by selecting people. Chat supports document and image uploads and emoji. Participants can mute chat notification sounds locally.
Why it matters: keeps logistics and collaborative prompts flowing without interrupting the live interaction.
What it does: hosts and cohosts can boot participants and block them from re-entry.
Why it matters: provides strong, immediate control over disruptive behavior.
What it does: guests may flag other users; hosts and cohosts see flagged entries and the reasons. From the flagged list, hosts/cohosts can view details and boot users if necessary.
Why it matters: lets attendees report problems, and gives hosts a clear toolset to handle issues privately and quickly.
What it does: create events and suites, clone events, manage private guest lists, mark an event inactive or delete it, and schedule suites (always-open or weekly hours). CSV guest upload is supported up to 50 guests per file.
Why it matters: streamlined setup for recurring workshops and long-running community spaces.
What it does: promote/demote cohosts, boot/block participants, remove people from broadcast back to the venue, and make announcements that reset attention. Hosts and cohosts also monitor flags and handle moderation.
Why it matters: gives teams the control they need to run stable, respectful sessions at any scale.
What it does: ticketed events and host subscriptions are supported. Ticketing is currently available only for a single event (not for a series or suite). Subscriptions are supported for hosts, and promo codes are currently available for subscriptions only. Billing and complex invoice actions are handled in Stripe.
Why it matters: sell single-event access and manage host subscriptions using trusted payment tools, while keeping the attendee experience simple and predictable.
What it does: stream your session externally to YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn. Use streaming to reach an audience outside miingl while keeping interactive attendees inside your venue.
Why it matters: expand reach for keynotes or public-facing talks while preserving the workshop’s interactive core.
What it does: hosts and cohosts may record sessions locally to their computer using miingl’s record control. Participants are not allowed to record sessions. miingl does not perform cloud post-processing.
Why it matters: host-controlled recording lets organizers capture the session for immediate reuse, while preventing participant recordings to preserve privacy and control over event assets.
Current capacity: miingl supports up to 1000 interactive users per event today. This is the current operational capacity for all users; future subscription options may introduce different base limits.
Pre-Session Networking: attendees may join up to 15 minutes before the start to network, with or without the host.
miingl-on (post-host): the venue stays open after hosts and cohosts leave; participants can continue connecting until everyone exits.
miingl captures consent for email/SMS opt-ins and handles credentials and sensitive tokens securely. Hosts and admins have audit trails for moderation actions. Review privacy practices as your program grows.
