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.

    @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?

    Hey, I understand attendees remain anonymous, but what about if the attendees comment or ask questions, will other participants be able to see their names on comments & questions?

    If the host allows anonymous questions, they can be asked either anonymously or by name.
    If the host does not allow anonymous questions, they will always be asked by name.
