Chat functions in Webinars- Presenters only?

I'm planning to host a webinar and will disable the chat for participants, relying on the Q&A function for questions.  I wondered if there was a setting where presenters can use the chat as a "one-way communication" with participants?  I will have 300+ participants and didn't want the chat going but my presenters would like to share a link to a survey with their audience at the end of the session (without receiving responses back or fielding side conversations).  Thanks for advice!

Hello @CLE1 and @slchessacademy,

Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here.

Yes, you can adjust the settings to allow only presenters to use the chat function.

You can check out this article for detailed requirements and step-by-step instructions.
