Never had issues with assigning captions to an attendee outside my organization before, but something seems to have changed. I've used a live captioner who joins the webinar using their own email ID, I promote them to panelist and assign captions. When testing captioning in a webinar practice session, realized I am no longer able to assign captioning to someone outside my organization's zoom account. I can only assign it to panelists within my org.
Has there been an update or change I've missed?
Solved! Go to Solution.
