The Announcement feature facilitates the host/presenter to publish an in-room announcement (Pinned at the top of Attendee Chat) for all the users inside the room. It is also displayed as a Lower Third if the event has started. A certain duration can be set to make the lower third disappear. Finally, the announcement plays a small audio notification along with visuals.
