  4. The backchannel is everything going on in the room that isn't coming from the presenter. The backchannel is where people ask each other questions and give immediate feedback. TodaysMeetallows you to tailor and direct your presentation to the audience in front of you, and unify the backchannel (meaning the audience can share insights, questions and answers) . Use the live stream to make comments, ask questions, and I will use that feedback to tailor my presentation, sharpen points, and address needs and questions.
