Hi, 

Is it possible for webinar attendees to remain anonymous? or will all participants be able to see the IDs of those present?  Thank you.

    Hi,HF5

     

    Only hosts, co-hosts, and panelists will be able to see the other participants.

    Webinar attendees (listeners) cannot see other attendees.

    Hi Ohkawa,

    how can I please set up a recurring meeting, so that all participants are always anonymous, and they only see me, unless they ask me to be promoted to speakers? 
    Thank you!

    Hi, @simonaelisa 

    Unfortunately,

    Meetings are based on two-way communication, so participants only have a setting where they can see each other.

    Hey, I understand attendees remain anonymous, but what about if the attendees comment or ask questions, will other participants be able to see their names on comments & questions?

    If the host allows anonymous questions, they can be asked either anonymously or by name.
    If the host does not allow anonymous questions, they will always be asked by name.
