Webinar host loses connection

[StephATC]

I would like to understand what exactly would happen if I lose my internet connection during a webinar for which I am the only host (no alternative hosts or panelists). Would the webinar continue and panelists remain until I am able to join the webinar again?

Fantastic question! @StephATC 

First, the webinar does not "go down". 👌
If you have other co-hosts or panelists, host permissions will drop to them.
If you are the only panelist, attendees will see a Host Will Be Right Back Message
Hope this helps you have confidence hosting Webinars with Zoom!

This would suggest that if the host gets disconnected and there is no co-host, the webinar does not go down, but the webinar does NOT continue. If I am the host and have panelists, and my connection goes down (it has happened and it was because Zoom decided to drop me, not because my broadband connection went down), would it be possible for the panelists to continue without me (the host) and without any of them being a co-host?
