When members see others online and engaged, they're more likely to join conversations and interact with content. ### Enhanced Retention Apps with active communities typically see higher retention rates as members develop connections with each other, not just with the content. ### Reduced Workload Active communities often become self-sustaining, requiring less direct intervention from app creators to maintain engagement. ### Improved User Experience Real-time interaction creates a more dynamic, engaging experience that meets modern user expectations for digital communities. #### Privacy Controls ### For Your Members You and your members can control their visibility through privacy settings: 1. Navigate to Profile 2. Select Settings 3. Choose Privacy 4. Toggle Live Activity on/off **Important note:** Even when a member disables Live Activity, they will still see who else is online. The setting only controls their own visibility to others. #### Frequently Asked Questions **Will sound notifications be added in the future?** Sound notifications are not included in the current version but may be considered for future updates. **Does background activity trigger "active" status?** No. Background activities like video watching or recording do not update a user's status to "active." **Can I enable this feature on the Pro or Launch plans?** Community Live Activity is exclusively available for Growth, Ultimate, Scale, Expand, and Plus plans. **Will members know if I've disabled my active status?** No. When you disable your active status, others simply won't see the green indicator by your name. There's no notification that you've changed this setting. **Do all members have Live Activity enabled by default?** Yes. Live Activity is turned ON by default for all members, but they can disable it through their privacy settings if preferred. - [Getting Started](https://help.passion.io/hc/en-us/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) -
