Is it possible to set a meeting up so the names of participants are automatically hidden - other than for the host to see?

We are holding a meeting and don't want the participants to see who else is included in the meeting, although we need them to identify themselves when they join.

Thanks

Hi @CAgnes,

 

Thank you for asking the Zoom Community. The feature that you are looking for is the "Zoom Webinar" which is an add-on subscription to Zoom Meeting. With Zoom Webinar, participants are visible to host and panelist only. More details below on meeting and webinar feature comparison.
