Expo Mode vs. Listener Sharing
- Listener sharing (in Live Audio Translation Subtitles and Share Live Captions to Listeners) broadcasts one speaker to many listeners who read along.
- Expo Mode gives each visitor their own session with the microphone always enabled, so every visitor speaks and receives translation independently — ideal for expo booths, reception desks, help counters, and one‑to‑one conversations across a multilingual crowd.
Open Expo Mode
In the VoicePing web app, open Expo Mode from the left navigation. Before you create anything, the page shows No Expo links yet and your usage against plan limits — Expo URLs (for example, 0 / 3) and Expo sessions — plus Export to CSV and New Expo URL. Click New Expo URL to create your first entrance.
Create an Entrance URL
- Click New Expo URL. A new entrance (for example, Expo entrance 1) appears in the list with an Enabled status and live active / joined counts.
- Enter an Expo URL name and click Save. Each entrance gets a unique code, and the panel records the created date and creator.
- Share the Entrance URL with visitors:
- Copy the link to paste into a page, email, or chat.
- Download QR to print it on a booth sign, badge, or slide.

How Visitors Join
- The visitor scans the QR code or opens the entrance URL on their phone or computer — no install, no account.
- They enter a name, choose the language they want to see, and tap Join. If a password is set, they enter it first.

- They land in a private translation session. Because the visitor microphone is always enabled, they can speak and read or hear the translation, switch the source and target languages, and turn on Bilingual Mode.

Sharing Settings, Activity, And Visitors
Each entrance has its own controls. Use Activate / Deactivate to open or close it, and the delete action to remove it.| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| TTS | Reads the translated text aloud on the visitor’s device. |
| Realtime GPT task extraction | Runs a realtime GPT task on the conversation. |
| Speaker analysis | Adds speaker / speech analysis to the session. |
| Password | Requires a password before a visitor can join. |

The visitor microphone is always enabled for Expo sessions, so each visitor can speak and be translated.

Best Practices For Events
- Create one entrance per booth, room, or day so analytics stay separated.
- Print the QR large enough to scan from a short distance and place it at eye level.
- Turn on Password for private or paid sessions; leave it off for open, walk-up booths.
- Enable TTS when visitors will listen through earphones rather than read.
- Watch the Active counter and your Expo sessions limit during peak times so walk-ups aren’t turned away.
