Is it possible to completely disable the display of regular (non-host) participant names in a Zoom Meeting? Mostly we're asking if the Participants view can be altered for regular participants, but not altered for hosts and co-hosts. So, regular participants would NOT be able to see each other, but hosts and co-hosts would still be able to see all participants.
Said another way: Is there a Zoom configuration that will prevent regular participant names from showing up in the Participants view for all regular participants, and the same for the Gallery and Speaker views? Only the host and co-hosts should show up, and only the host and co-hosts will be able to see the full Participants list.
Is this possible for the Zoom Meetings product? We know this is generally possible using the Webinar product, but we are specifically asking whether it is possible in the Meetings product Thank you in advance!

No, this is not possible with Zoom Meetings and is the main distinction between Zoom meetings and webinars. There are some features that mitigate how much participants can see in a meeting, such as spotlighting certain participants and focus mode, but these are not a 1-to-1 substitute for a webinar.
