Why was chat disabled for my webinar attendees?

I just presented my first webinar. I didn't know until I was already live that chat disabled for my webinar attendees. It didn't show that when I was doing the practice session. And, I couldn't find any place to enable it. Can someone tell me where to enable it?

Thanks.

You have to go into Webinar settings before your next one to enable it.

thank you both

These surprises are not helpful when you are on show in public 😞 

Have updated the settings

I hear you!  I was on my first of 5 sessions for a free bootcamp. Trying to impress people only to have everyone frustrated! Also an update to my fix - because it took 2 tests. Once I changed those settings I went into the webinar, clicked on chat and then had to open the chat to everyone from the chat box in the webinar as well. Click chat, hit the 3 dots and change the settings. Even though I did the fix in teh account settings, I had to make this other change too.
