Is there really no way to inject a simple slide show directly into a Zoom Webinar, rather than having to use an external slideshow program (such as Power Point) and having to share my computer screen?

I noticed if we want to share a video, we can click the “Advanced” tab of the Share function and choose “Video” and this enables us to share a video without our computer desktop being visible to attendees. This is great.

However, everything I'm reading about sharing a slide show requires me to share my computer desktop so that attendees see my actual computer desktop where the slide show lives. 

Our previous webinar platform, WebinarJam, allowed us to inject slides directly into the webinar, so the slides lived in the webinar itself, not on my computer, so I never had to "share" my own computer screen and make my computer desktop visible to attendees.

Does that make sense? Is there really no way to inject a slideshow into a Zoom webinar? And if not, how do you share slides in Zoom Webinars without making your desktop visible to attendees? In our practice sessions, we've experimented with PowerPoint (using these Zoom instructions https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203395347-Screen-sharing-a-PowerPoint-presentation) but we couldn't figure out how to hide the Power Point control panel so that the attendees only see the slides, not the surrounding Power Point control panels and menus.

Would love the hear how others do it.

I am looking to use the same template for all webinars created by a new integration.

When calling the Webinar API (https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/webinars), does the "template_id" need to be owned by the "userId", or can it be owned by any user?  Or is there an admin (sharable) type of template that we should be creating?

Alternatively, how can I do things like set the Branding settings of the webinar via the API?

I was hosting a Zoom reading.  The person reading stage directions had their video turned off. Reading went fine, but when I downloaded the video recording,  a tile came up with the stage direction reader's name on it every time she spoke, and the actors' tiles disappeared. I was unable to use it.  Why did this happen and how can I make sure it never happens again?

I, the plan owner, purchased the webinar add-on for our Pro account earlier today. The payment has completed and I've assigned the feature to one of our 2 licensed users. I am able to schedule meetings for this user and am trying to convert the previously scheduled meeting to a webinar. When I select the option to do so, a message pops up stating that the meeting cannot be converted because the user doesn't have that feature and will need to request it from me. But again, I've already assigned the feature to them and can see that it is there in their user profile. Is there a delay in full-functionality?

We use the Co-Host role strictly as a "chat box moderator" because Zoom Webinars doesn't have a Moderator role (which they really really should!).  Our chat box moderators should never be on camera or on mic. Their job is simply to monitor the chat box and Q&A box (ie: delete offensive comments from chat box, interact with attendees in chat box, help Host manage the questions in the Q&A box).

Because Zoom Webinars doesn't have a Moderator role, and because Zoom allows only the Host and Co-Hosts to delete comments from the chat box, we have no choice but to use the Co-Host role for our chat box moderators.

I'm worried that our chat box moderators (assigned to Co-Host role) will accidentally unmute themselves and/or accidentally turn on their cameras. This could be extremely embarrassing and unprofessional but I can't find a setting to remove the Co-Host's ability to turn on their camera or unmute themselves. I only see these setting for Panelists, but because Panelists don't have the ability to delete comments from the chat box, that role doesn't work for our chat box moderators.

So my questions are:

Where is the setting to disable Co-Host's ability to turn on camera and unmute?

If this setting doesn't exist: What can we do to make sure our chat box moderators (assigned to Co-Host role) don't accidentally turn on their cameras or unmute themselves during live webinars? I understand we can tell them not to do it, but accidents happen. I can see a person accidentally clicking their mic so they're unmuted and suddenly making weird sounds or talking to themselves during a live webinar. This would be terrible! haha!

Thanks for any advice.

Edited to say this has been resolved. It was a user error (ID10T), so never mind!

We are learning how to use Zoom Webinars so have been playing in it via the "Practice Session" feature.   Just now, it spontaneously ended after about 10 or 15 minutes (just a guess, didn't time it). Is there a time limit in Practice Session? We would like to be in the Practice Session for a long time while we learn and explore all the feature and settings, while writing a procedure manual for staff. 

When it ended, the window just closed and the Host got a pop up Zoom box that said something like "this session has ended' or something like that.

Any ideas why this happened?

Thanks!

I've just signed up for Zoom events and really looking forward to using this (previously, we used Zoom webinars a lot)

But I'm having an issue with setting up registration. I would like anyone who receives a link for the event to be able to register. I've added a screenshot to show this, but at the moment, the option to make this event public for anyone with a link is not working.

Just to add, I've created a hub and two initial events. My idea is that people will register for the specific event this wish to attend to
