I added a person to be a Speaker at my Zoom Events Webinar via the Speaker quick join option. This was great as he previously had issues logging in and the quick join meant he didn't have to log in. However, he did not have access to the Backstage area of the webinar. Me and the other Speakers (panellists) from my organisation did have access, but not this one Speaker from a different organisation. I had tried to add him the normal way but the invite email would not send. I tried making him a Co-Host but this did not help. How do I give this Speaker access to Backstage while also being quick join?

(I have re-posted this as the answer given to my previous version of this question was not relevant and I haven't had any other responses. This is not in reference to the speaker (audio) hardware on my computer.)

We've had a huge response to our AI MEETING for Career Center professional where we are featuring a different AI expert each week of July to discuss strategies they could use generative AI to provide scalable career and professional development to students.  However with 450 people registered for the meeting, I'm worried about issues of attendees opening microphones and other ways that large of a meeting will cause, so we would like to convert it to a webinar.  I realize you can convert, but every time I click to convert, nothing happens.  Can you convert a reoccurring MEETING to a reoccurring WEBINAR?    If not, do you know what the cost is to add additional seats for a meeting.  If 60 percent show up, we should be fine to stay below our 300 biz limit.  Thanks for feedback

Does anyone know if you can have a webinar without participants creating a zoom account.  This is creating a pain point for our clients and killing participation.  Users don't have to have accounts to get on traditional zoom meeting and asking them to create an account for a webinar is creating a problem for our clients.   

Je considère que le changement de facturation unilatéral et brutal de ZOOM webinaire en juin 2023 est inacceptable, surtout quand on vient comme je l'ai fait de renouveler zoom réunion. Il faut maintenant déterminer en amont un nombre de participants sur une période d'un an et payer à l'avance . En gros 1 700 euros pour moins de 1 00 participants sur 1 an et 4 830 euros pour 3 000 participants. Ce système conçu certainement pour générer encore plus de cash est inflationniste. La position de Leader n'autorise pas tout. Il est temps de boycotter ZOOM et de changer pour d'autres systèmes moins onéreux et plus transparents. Je me suis fait avoir et ne souhaite pas que cela arrive à d'autres.

I consider the unilateral and abrupt billing change of ZOOM webinar in June 2023 to be unacceptable, especially when it comes as I did to renew zoom meeting. It is now necessary to determine in advance a number of participants over a period of one year and to pay in advance. Roughly 1,700 euros for less than 1,00 participants over 1 year and 4,830 euros for 3,000 participants. This system, certainly designed to generate even more cash, is inflationary. The position of Leader does not authorize everything. It's time to boycott ZOOM and switch to less expensive and more transparent systems. I got screwed and don't want this to happen to others
