Meeting privacy

I have tried every option possible, so if it’s not possible, please let me know. I have zoom pro plan. I am hosting a meeting in the the style of a “webinar” where I am the only speaker, and I have muted all oof the viewers. To protect the viewers privacy, I don’t want the viewers to be able to see the other viewers in the meeting when they click on “participatants”. In this possible, if so, how?  The webinar I believe it’s possible but it’s also really expensive.

Hello, 

Zoom meetings have a feature called Focus Mode.

 

This feature gives the host and co-hosts view of all participants’ videos without other participants seeing each other. This extends into screen sharing, as the host and co-host can view and switch between each participant’s shared screen, while the participants can only view their own content. If the host finds a participant’s content should be shared with others, they can easily begin sharing the participant’s screen with others.

There is one other issue to consider. I am not aware of a way to hide participants names in the participant’s panel.

 

This has been a feature request for a long time.

 

Regards

Thank you so much.  Can Zoom do customized plans for webinars, or do you have to start at 500 participants?
