Zoom Meetings for multiple people

Hi there. I am trying to have a meeting over Zoom with multiple participants. I need to see everyone on screen, but I want the participants to remain anonymous to one another. Is there a way that I could see everyone (they must keep their cameras on during their time with me) but keep them from seeing one another? I need help. Please and thank you!! 🙂

hi @Learningonmyown 

That is not possible.
There is a discussion, especially from the educational side for a feature like this for exams.
We wanted this for our speaker competiotns.
The only solution we came up was to have the attendees having their backs to the camera.
That way you can see what they are doing and they can not see the screen.
Hope that helps

Hello,

 

You can only partially do what you are asking.

 

If you enable Focus mode you will see all of the participants as host and they will only see you.

The missing part is that the participants can still see all of the participants names in the participant's list.

 

"Focus mode  allows the host and co-hosts to view all participants' videos without the participants seeing each other. In addition, the host and co-hosts can switch between each participant's shared screen, while participants can only see their own content. Participants in focus mode can see their own video, other participants' names, nonverbal feedback, reactions, and hear them when unmuted. The host can also easily share a participant's screen with others if needed. To enable focus mode, the host or admin needs to adjust the settings in the Zoom web portal."
