Chat in webinars & meetings

[acp_zoom]

I am hosting a virtual conference and need chat enabled for meetings but turned off for webinars except to my panelists. I do not see this setting anywhere within the meeting/webinar set up, only in account settings. Is this possible? Does anyone have step by step instructions?

Please see below from our KB article on controlling chat access during a webinar session

How to control chat access during a meeting or webinar

Meeting and webinar hosts can control whether participants can chat with everyone, with panelists and the host (for webinars), or with the host only. 

1. Start a meeting or webinar as host. 
2. Click Chat in the meeting controls.
3. At the bottom of the in-meeting Zoom Group Chat window, click More , and then choose an option for Participant Can Chat With.
   • For meetings, the host can allow participants to chat with everyone or with the host only. 
   • For webinars, the host can allow attendees to chat with no one, with all panelists (including host), or with all panelists and attendees.
