Can I turn on the chat function in a webinar after I start the webinar?  I know I can enable the chat function from the settings, but if I've already started the webinar, can the chat function be enabled?

Thanks!

Yes. Go to Security and un-check Chat. That disables Chat.

In Webinar I guess you can set Chat to Attendees can Chat with No One.

@cbarriga11  Very SORRY. I thought you asking if you could turn OFF the Chat, not ON.

 

I hear turn off so often..

 

I don't think there is a way to turn Chat ON during a Webinar.

 

Sorry for the confusion.
