Live audience insight

Know the moment your room leans in.

Seats Edge turns one camera and one microphone into a live read of your audience. See who is with you, when phones come out, when the room laughs, stands, sings or goes quiet, and line every moment up with what was said on stage.

The problem

You can feel a room. Now you can see it.

Today, most leaders find out how it went from a few comments in the lobby, a gut feeling on the drive home and a survey almost nobody fills out.

  • Every seat, not the loudest five people. The whole room, second by second, from the first word to the last.
  • Tied to what was said. Each rise and dip lines up with the transcript, the setlist or the slide on screen.
  • Ready before you leave the building. A one-page report with the moments that held the room and the ones that lost it.

How it works

Up and running in an afternoon.

No app for your audience to download, no wearables, nothing to hand out. A camera, a microphone and a small computer in the booth.

Mount a camera and a mic

One 4K camera facing the audience, mounted high, plus a microphone that hears the crowd rather than the stage. Big rooms add cameras; the system counts each person once.

The booth computer reads the room

Everything is processed live on a computer in your building. It marks each head by what the person is doing and listens for laughter, applause, cheering and singing. Video never streams out.

Watch it live, keep the report

See the room on a screen in real time, then get the report when the event ends: the moments that held the room, the ones that lost it and how this event compares with the last one.

Every install starts with a setup check that confirms the camera angle and tunes the system to your room.

The dashboards

See exactly what you get.

Each kind of room has its own dashboard and its own headline number. Pick one to see it with sample data. Hover over any chart for the details.

Sample data. Each solution page shows the full dashboard for that kind of room.

What it measures

The signals behind every number.

Seats Edge reads two things at once: what the room is doing and what the room sounds like. Together they tell you how the moment landed.

Features

Everything you need to read the room.

Live view

Your audience on screen with a ring on every head, colored by what each person is doing. Counts and charts update every second.

Lined up to the transcript

Every rise and dip points at the exact words, song or slide that caused it.

After-event report

One page, ready when the room empties: headline numbers, the curve and the moments worth a second look.

Clip-ready moments

The biggest reactions with in and out times, ready for your social or media team.

Multiple cameras, one count

Big rooms use several cameras. People seen by two cameras are counted once, placed on your floor plan.

Setup check

Before go-live, a short test confirms the camera angle, the lighting and which measures your room supports.

Privacy by design

Measured as a crowd. Never as individuals.

Seats Edge tells you how the room responded, not who did what. Video is processed on a computer in your building and is not stored. No faces are saved, no one is identified and no one is tracked from one week to the next.

Processed in the roomNo faces storedNo identitiesNo tracking week to weekOnly the numbers leave
Tested before you see it

Built on measured results, not guesses.

We test every measure against answer keys made by people, and we publish what works and what is still in progress.

97%

of applause moments caught

On a 96-minute televised speech held out from all tuning, scored against the moments marked by broadcast captioners.

64 min

of live 4K, no slowdown

A full hour of 4K video analyzed live on one computer with no errors, no memory growth and no lag building up.

7 to 1

cameras, one count

Seven overlapping cameras merged on a floor plan. Added up they counted four times the crowd; merged, the count landed within 10%.

Internal testing on public recordings and research data sets, 2026. Results in your room depend on camera angle and lighting, which the setup check confirms.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

What hardware do we need?

A 4K camera facing the audience, ideally mounted high, a microphone that hears the crowd, and a small computer in the booth. During the pilot we supply and install the kit. Larger rooms may need a second or third camera.

Can we use the cameras we already have?

Often, yes. Many rooms already have a 4K camera for streaming. The setup check tells you whether its angle and position will work, and what to change if not.

Does video leave our building?

No. Live video is analyzed on the computer in your room and is not recorded or streamed out. Only the numbers and the report leave the building. The one exception is an optional setup clip you choose to share with us so we can tune the system to your room, deleted after review.

Will it recognize people?

No. Seats Edge does not identify anyone, store faces or follow a person from one event to the next. It measures the room as a whole. See privacy by design.

How accurate is it?

Accuracy depends most on the camera angle and lighting. Counting, laughter and applause are strongest; some measures, like raised hands in a dark, packed room, are still improving. The setup check tells you which measures your room supports before you rely on them.

Can it analyze recordings we already have?

Yes, for the sound-based measures. Laughter, applause, cheering and the line-by-line report work on recordings of past events, which is a quick way to see what the report looks like for your own room.

What does it cost?

Pilot pricing is set per room during the pilot program and depends on room size and how many events you run. Join the pilot and we will walk you through it.

Pilot program

We are opening a limited number of pilot rooms. You get the full system and a say in what we build next.

Pilot rooms get the camera kit installed, a reviewed setup check and a direct line to the team building the product.
