How to Configure Audience Reporting: Simulated or Actual Attendees

Audience Reporting controls the number of attendees displayed as being online during your webinar. You can either display a simulated number of attendees or show the number of actual attendees currently online.

This setting is available for automated, live, and hybrid webinars.

💡 Audience Reporting only changes the number shown to viewers. It does not increase the number of real attendees your subscription supports. If you expect more actual attendees than your plan allows, upgrade your subscription before the webinar.

Choose between simulated and actual attendees

You can select one of the following options:
  • Simulated attendees: Displays a selected number of attendees using names from your simulated name list. The names are randomized during the webinar.
  • Actual attendees: Displays the number of attendees currently online in the webinar.
  • None: Disables attendee reporting.

Configure Audience Reporting

  1. Open the webinar event you want to edit.
  2. Go to Webinar > Edit

  3. Open Advanced: Webinar Setup


  4. Select Configure.
  5. Scroll down to the Audience Reporting section.

  1. Choose the reporting option you want:
    • Select a number to display simulated attendees.
    • Select Actual Attendees to display the number of attendees currently online.
    • Select None to turn Audience Reporting off.
  2. If you selected simulated attendees, make sure your simulated name list contains more names than the number you want to display.

  4. For example, if you want to display 72 simulated attendees, upload at least 73 names.
  5. Click Save.

How simulated attendee reporting works

When you select a simulated attendee number, StealthSeminar displays that number to viewers and uses names from your simulated name list. The names are randomized for the webinar event.
The simulated attendee count is separate from your account’s actual attendance capacity. It does not create additional attendee seats or allow more real attendees to join your webinar.

How actual attendee reporting works

When Actual Attendees is selected, the report displays attendees who are currently online in the webinar. No simulated names are used.
If no attendees are currently online, the displayed count may be zero.
