Host live webinars with pre-recorded presentation

Hi,

I'm testing to host a live webinar with a pre-recorded presentation. I've started the webinar as the host, but I can't figure out how to hide myself in the webinar?

 

I've hosted many live Zoom webinars with panelists. Then I just click on hide non-video participants and I'm not visible for the attendees. That option is not visible in the dropdown menu when I'm the only host in the webinar?

 

Any suggestions and help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Thomas

Found it! While screen sharing, in the More drop down menu - Hide Video Panel.

Well, that was apparently only hiding  the video panel for me. I'm still visible for attendees, which I don't want to be. I want attendees to only see the pre-recorded video.

The option you want to select is "Hide Self View". This option will show up when right-clicking your own image and there is at least one other panelist in the webinar. It will not show up if you are the only one in the webinar.
