Pause a webinar

[HarryG]

Is there any way to pause a webinar, i.e. kick attendees out and return to practice session?  If not, there should be as that would handle executive session in meetings really well.

Well you can leave a session and come back after a certain time, but unless it was recorded previously you can not pause it.

I have had the people who need to attend executive session leave the webinar and go into a separate meeting as you suggest.  What I would LIKE TO DO is leave them where they are in PRACTICE mode so the attendees can't hear what is going on.

Hello @HarryG  one option to have if you would like to have the attendees back into the section is sending them into a breakout room. Would you be able to detail more about your use case? Thanks! 😃

This is a webinar, not a meeting.  I haven't seen breakout rooms in webinars (unfortunately).  Otherwise, I would do EXACTLY what you suggest - have the executive session in a breakout room.
