Can webinar attendees remain anonymous?

[HF5]

Hi, 

Is it possible for webinar attendees to remain anonymous? or will all participants be able to see the IDs of those present?  Thank you.

Hi,HF5

Only hosts, co-hosts, and panelists will be able to see the other participants.

Webinar attendees (listeners) cannot see other attendees.

[HF5]

Thank you.

Hey @HF5, did @Ohkawa answer your question? If so, don't forget to click the 'Accept as solution' button!

Hi Ohkawa,

how can I please set up a recurring meeting, so that all participants are always anonymous, and they only see me, unless they ask me to be promoted to speakers? 
Thank you!

Hi, @simonaelisa 

Unfortunately,

Meetings are based on two-way communication, so participants only have a setting where they can see each other.

So the anonymity for attendees (not being seen by other attendees), only works in WEBINARS but not in MEETINGS? Did I get that right? 

[Ohkawa]

Yes, as you understand it.

@Ohkawa - trying to confirm here...webinar attendees are visible only to hosts, co-hosts and panelists - do they become visible to all when the ask a question in Chat?  What about Q&A?
