What Is Browser-Based Audience Interaction?
Browser-based audience interaction is a method for gathering live comments, questions, and reactions from attendees through their web browser, accessed via QR code with no signup required. Feedr by MRVL delivers this capability for speakers, event hosts, and creators who want real-time audience engagement without asking attendees to download an app.
How Browser-Based Audience Interaction Works
In a browser-based interaction setup, the host displays a QR code to the audience. Each attendee scans it with their phone and opens a web page in their existing browser. They can then post comments, ask questions, or react in real-time, all visible to the host and moderated if needed. No app download, no account creation, no friction. The host controls the session from their iOS or Android device, seeing a live stream of audience input, upvoting on comments, and the ability to pin key messages or invite guest moderators to help manage the flow.
Who Uses Browser-Based Audience Interaction
This approach suits conference speakers, church preachers, lecturers, podcasters, and event hosts who want to gauge audience reaction, answer questions live, or build energy without the logistical overhead of video conferencing or webinar platforms. A speaker at a packed auditorium can see anonymous comments from the room. A preacher can let the congregation ask questions without raising hands. A podcaster can invite listener input during a live stream. Each scenario benefits from low-friction participation: scan, type, done.
Key Features of Browser-Based Systems
Feedr offers live comment streams with upvoting so the best questions rise to the top. Hosts can pin important comments, add emoji reactions to audience messages, and invite guest moderators via a link to help manage moderation. The free tier includes a basic session report; paid tiers unlock an analytics dashboard showing engagement metrics, comment volume, and audience size trends. As of June 2026, Feedr supports unlimited sessions and audiences up to 500 on the Creator plan, or unlimited attendees on Pro.
Browser-Based vs. Video Conferencing and Webinars
Video conferencing tools like Zoom require participants to download software or join a call; webinar platforms often charge per attendee or require registration. Browser-based audience interaction is lighter weight. Attendees remain anonymous, do not see or hear each other, and only post text comments or reactions. The host runs the session from their phone, not a laptop. This makes it ideal for large, in-person events, lectures, or broadcasts where you want input without creating a second meeting room.
When Browser-Based Interaction Falls Short
If you need live video, screen sharing, or breakout rooms, a video conference tool is the right choice. If you want live polls or dynamic word clouds, many platforms offer those; Feedr's focus is on comment streams and Q&A upvoting. If your audience needs to see video of you, you'll pair a browser-based tool like Feedr with a separate video broadcast (YouTube, Twitch, or in-person projection). Think of browser-based interaction as the comment layer on top of your existing event or stream, not a replacement for video conferencing.

Frequently asked questions
Do audience members need to download an app to join?
No. They scan a QR code and open a browser link. No app, no account, no signup.
Can the audience see or hear each other?
No. Feedr is a comment and reaction layer, not a video or audio conference. Audience members only see the live comment stream and can upvote or post their own messages.
How many people can join a Feedr session?
On the free plan, up to 100 attendees per session. Creator plan allows 500; Pro plan allows unlimited audience.
Can I moderate comments before they appear?
Yes, on Creator and Pro plans. Comments enter a moderation queue so you can approve or reject before the audience sees them.
What's the difference between Free, Creator, and Pro?
Free tier allows 3 sessions per month with up to 100 attendees and basic reports. Creator (£49.99/yr) offers unlimited sessions, 500 attendees, and moderation tools. Pro (£119.99/yr) adds unlimited attendees and an analytics dashboard.
Can I use Feedr during a live stream or video broadcast?
Yes. Many hosts pair Feedr with YouTube, Twitch, or in-person video projection to gather comment and Q&A input alongside their main broadcast.
