Webinar Panelists not able to log in for practice session

My panelists are receiving the panelist invites, but when they try and sign in, they are told they need to have a Zoom account in order to do so.

Do panelists need to have a Zoom account? While I get it from a marketing perspective, as a user, I find that strange.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @Kilrwat,

 

Do you have the Require panelists to authenticate to join option enabled in the Webinar?

If so, see the requirement indicated that they must be logged into a Zoom account.  Uncheck this box, and they should be able to enter the Webinar without a Zoom account.
