As a host, I am setting up the webinar for a co-host and a panelist. How do I not show on screen? I want to be on for administrative purposes, to support the cohost and panelist but don't want my name or camera showing. How do i do this?

    Hello @ ,

     

    Start your webinar,  after your co-host and Panelist(s) have arrived Spotlight them, then go to Manage Participants and at the bottom of the window click the three dots.  Next select Speaker for the Attendee View (see screen capture below).  This should have you setup so that the Audience ONLY sees the people you have Spotlighted (along with any content being shared).

     

     

    To Spotlight a Panelist (up to 9) click on the more button next to their name in the Participants window and click Spotlight.

    Thanks!

    I get the option to spotlight everyone (myself - host, the cohost, and panelists). I only want the cohost and panelist to show on people's screens during the webinar. Thanks. Any suggestions.

    Only Spotlight the speakers you want to be seen.  You do not need to spotlight everyone.

    Do you have a speaking role during the webinar? If not, then just don't ever unmute or turn on your camera.
