How to transition from a Zoom Webinar practice session to live webinar?

Hi all,

Hosting my first webinar tomorrow. I've learned there is not the equivalent to a "Waiting Room" in Zoom Webinar for me and my panelists and the advice is start as a "Practice Session" -- and just to confirm: to go live (that is, let attendees hear me / see us), I would then simply click "Start Webinar" and we would be live?

 

And if this is the correct order of events, my instructions to panelists and co-hosts would be to join the "Practice Session" ahead of time and then we all go live.

 

If someone can confirm (or deny) the above that would help put my mind at ease. Any other practices for this would be most welcome.

 

Thank you,

Rob
