Editing zoom webinar dates + Alternate webinar host

Hi, 

 

I can't figure out how to do 2 things:

1. Make a co-host of the webinar, I can only see panelists addition

2. Enable waiting room in webinar, like meetings

 

Also, when I changed the date of my recent webinar, the added calendar invite doesn't refresh or get removed, this is a request I wanted to raise to zoom.

  1. You can not pre-assign a Co-host to a meeting or webinar. This assignment can only be made once the meeting or webinar has started.
  2. Webinar does not support the Waiting Room. What it supports instead is Practice Mode, which allows you to start the webinar (in Practice Mode) which means the doors are still locked to attendees, although Panelists are able to join during Practice Mode. Once everybody is ready to go, you just click on the blue button that says "Start Webinar", and that's like opening the doors and letting everybody in.
