Webinars 'host does not allow panellist cameras'

Community

On April 16, between 2:25 P.M. ET and 4:12 P.M. ET, the domain zoom.us was not available due to a server block by GoDaddy Registry. This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. Zoom, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy worked quickly to identify and remove the block, which restored service to the domain zoom.us. There was no product, security or network failure at Zoom during the outage. GoDaddy and Markmonitor are working together to prevent this from happening again.

I just did my 100th zoom webinar and for the first time Zoom had disabled panellists' cameras, it said the host (me) needed to un-disable them. So instead of having a nice warm-up chat before hand I had a stressful few minutes trying to find the setting to do that.

This is not the first time Zoom has changed the settings. It also disabled the "1 week reminder". Why is Zoom the only software company I know which changes settings without informing people? And for such a stressful task as moderating a webinar!

I made this screenshot to show where the setting is to change it - although if this situation happens to you, I guess you will be lucky to find this post in 2 minutes. Open the 'participants' box, go to panellists tab, then tick on 'allow panellists to start video'.
