Survey link for webinar attendees that have been removed?

[CammyM]

I recently did a series of educational webinars. I set up a link to a third party survey for attendees to complete once I had closed the webinar.

The team I was working with wanted to debrief the webinar after it was done. We waited a few minutes for attendees to leave on their own, but when many didn't leave, I removed them from the webinar.

The response rate to my post-webinar survey was extremely low, and I'm wondering if the survey did not appear for people who were removed from the webinar. Does anybody know if this is the case?

And on a related note, is there a better way to end the webinar for the attendees, but to keep my panelists so that we can discuss the webinar?
