Webinar Chat Setting "No One"

When I set the in-webinar chat to "attendances can chat with no one," does this restrict the hosts and panelists from sending chats to "hosts and panelists?" Or are only the attendees ever affected by these settings?

See this Zoom Support article for definitive information on webinar chat:

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/205761999-Chatting-in-a-webinar

In there, it says:

Attendees can chat with: Control who attendees can chat with.
- No one: Disables in-webinar chat.
- Host and panelists: Only the host and panelists can send messages to everyone. Participants can still send private messages to the host and other panelists.
- Everyone: Attendees can send public messages, which are visible to all attendees. Attendees can still send private messages to the host and other panelists.

Hi @lla99!

When restricting the chat to "No one" for attendees, you still have the option to remove the chat for panelists. As you can see in my screenshot you have setting options for both "panelists" and "attendees".
