What Is Pin Comment Live? Real-Time Audience Engagement for Event Hosts
Pin comment live is a moderation feature in Feedr that lets event hosts highlight important audience messages in real-time, keeping the conversation focused and responsive. It's one of several tools available to creators, speakers, and event organisers who want to engage their audience without requiring attendees to download an app.
How Pin Comment Works in Feedr
Feedr is a real-time audience interaction app that lets your audience join via QR code in their browser, no account needed. Once comments start flowing in, you see every message in a live stream on your host screen. When a comment deserves spotlight (a sharp question, a funny observation, or something the whole room should see), you tap to pin it. Pinned comments float to the top of the stream, making sure nothing important gets buried as new messages roll in. This is particularly useful during Q&A sessions, lectures, or conferences where you want to surface the best questions for everyone to see.
When to Use Pin Comment Features
Pinning shines in several scenarios. During a conference talk, pin the most insightful question so the speaker can address it immediately. In a church sermon or lecture, pin comments that tie back to the core message. For podcast Q&A sessions, pin audience questions you plan to answer live. Event hosts use pinning to manage tone, highlight engagement, and keep the flow organized. Unlike a raw comment thread, pinning signals to your audience what matters right now, which increases participation and keeps the energy focused.
Moderation and Control with Feedr
Pin comment is part of Feedr's broader moderation toolkit, available on the Creator tier (£6.99 per month or £49.99 per year) and above. You also get a comment moderation queue, so you can review or block messages before they appear. Emoji reactions let your audience respond non-verbally, reducing noise while keeping engagement high. Guest moderators can be invited via a link to help manage comments alongside you, useful for larger events. The Free tier (up to 3 sessions per month, 100 audience members) lets you see and upvote comments, but pinning and moderation tools unlock on Creator.
Why Feedr Over Traditional Q&A
Many event platforms require audience members to download an app or sign up. Feedr skips all that. Your audience joins via QR code, opens their browser, and starts typing immediately. No friction means higher participation. Because comments are upvoted by the audience, popular questions naturally rise without you having to manage rankings manually. When you pin a comment, it reinforces what the room thinks is important. This real-time feedback loop makes events feel more interactive and less one-directional, whether you're speaking to 20 people or 500.
Pricing and Tiers for Pin Comment Features
Feedr's Free tier (£0) covers 3 sessions per month with up to 100 audience members and includes a live comment stream and upvoting, but no pinning. The Creator tier (£6.99 per month or £49.99 per year) unlocks unlimited sessions, room for 500 audience members, comment pinning, moderation tools, emoji reactions, guest moderator invites, and a session report. The Pro tier (£14.99 per month or £119.99 per year) adds unlimited audience size and a detailed analytics dashboard so you can see engagement trends across all your events. Choose based on how many sessions you run per month and how many people attend.
Getting Started with Pinning
Download Feedr on iOS or Android, create a new session, and share the QR code with your audience. They scan it, join in their browser (no signup), and start commenting. As the host, you see everything in real-time. Messages appear in a live stream; you upvote the ones you like, pin the ones you want everyone to see, and moderate out-of-place comments if needed. Your audience watches the pinned comments stay at the top, so they know their questions are being heard. After the session ends, you get a basic report of what was said. As of June 2026, Feedr runs thousands of events every month across conferences, churches, lectures, and podcasts.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between pinning and upvoting in Feedr?
Upvoting is done by your audience. Viewers can upvote comments they like, pushing popular messages higher in the stream. Pinning is done only by you, the host. When you pin a comment, it stays locked at the top, regardless of how many upvotes it has. Pinning is about editorial control; upvoting is about audience preference.
Do audience members see which comments are pinned?
Yes. Pinned comments appear at the top of the audience's view and are visually distinct, so everyone knows the host considers that message important. This encourages more thoughtful participation.
Can I unpin a comment during a live session?
Yes. You have full control to pin and unpin comments in real-time as the conversation evolves and new messages come in.
Is pinning available on the Free tier?
No. Comment pinning is a Creator tier feature (£6.99 per month or £49.99 per year). The Free tier includes upvoting and a live comment stream, but moderation tools like pinning require an upgrade.
Can a guest moderator pin comments?
Guest moderators invited via link can help manage comments in the moderation queue and respond, but only the main host can pin. This keeps editorial control with you.
What if my audience grows beyond 500 members?
The Creator tier supports up to 500 audience members. For unlimited audience size, upgrade to Pro (£14.99 per month or £119.99 per year), which also includes analytics and deeper insights into engagement.
