Running a webinar

[bpuech]

Hi, I'm running a webinar for a voluntary group.  I've bought the package and scheduled a webinar, but cannot figure out how to separate the 10 speakers from the 100 attendees when I send out the Zoom invitation.  It is all very confusing. 

Do they get different invitation links?  THanks if anyone can help.

Hello @bpuech! The speakers will need to be added as panelists before the webinar starts or you can promote them from attendee to panelist in the live session.  Panelists must use their unique join link to join the webinar as a panelist, or be signed in to their Zoom account on the app with the email matching the panelist assignment. For more information check out https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0066116. Hope this helps!

I'm so n the same position and agree that it's very confusing.  I just want to run the event, I do not want to be seen or heard as I have others to do that, and I can't see a way of taking me out of the panelist list.

You need to be sure speakers are classified appropriately as speakers. You can then email the speakers separately than the attendees with their unique links. If you want to automate this there is a Zoom app, Salepager, that lets you send automated invites for your webinars including separate emails to the panelists.
