As a host, the thing I crave most is certainty that people are interested in the topic I’m hosting. So, what helps me the most is when people RSVP as soon as possible. Even if they aren’t 100% sure that they can make it!
And now, with the new Observers feature, when someone doesn’t show up, it doesn’t really hurt too much if someone isn’t able to make it. They can write a quick chat message and let me know, and I can mark them as an Observer. Then, they get a report of what happened and I get an accurate count of outstanding votes.
We all win!
