Force all webinar attendees to remain anonymous

[new2zoomwebinar]

I want to make sure the panelists cannot see any attendee names, as well as the attendees not be able to see the names of others.  I also want to make sure that the Q&A and Chat all names are anonymous.

In other webinar platforms there is an option to force all names to anonymized. Is this possible in zoom webinars?

If so how?

Thank you

panelists not seeing attendee names is not supported in zoom.  Only way around that is to have your panelists in a different zoom meeting and then via options such as NDI/vMix stream them to your webinar.  but then you have to feed the Q&A & chat back to that meeting so technically complicated.

This does not answer the question about disabling attendees from seeing other attendees.

Can you answer the question to make ATTENDEES not to be able to see the names of other ATTENDEES?

You can make attendees anonymous to other attendees either at beginning of webinar or in the practice session before you begin the webinar.

1. As the webinar host, go to the Participants panel and click the "More" button.
2. Under the "Allow attendees to" section, deselect the "View Participant Count" option. This will hide the number of attendees from other participants, though panelists will still be able to view the count.
3. Additionally, you can enable the "Allow anonymous questions" setting in the Q&A panel. This will allow attendees to submit questions without their names being displayed to other participants.
