Hosting a webinar with Zoom Sessions and anonymous attendees

How would I go about hosting a webinar with Zoom Session (under 50 attendees) while keeping the attendees anonymous to at least each other? Is this possible at all?

Hi @mineva by default, attendees in a Zoom Webinar do not see each other. @mgstark provided a great overview here

Hi @mineva when you schedule a Zoom Session you will be able to select if you want to make it a meeting or webinar. If you select webinar then the attendees will not see one another (they will be anonymous to each other).

- For any Q&A that is submitted you can answer the question privately by selecting "Send privately" when typing the answer.

- Also when the webinar starts you can configure the chat settings if you want it to be attendees can chat with "No one", "Host and Panelist" or "Everyone". In your case either of the first two options would work well.
