Hi there!

I've been hosting some webinars for some time. In our webinar format, we start with a 30 minute presentation before heading into an hour long Q&A. The challenge is the audience often asks questions during the presentation, whereas we're prefer for them to save them until the end.

Can we set up the Q&A so that it opens at a specific time? (ie after the 30 minute presentation is complete). 

Or is there a way to turn the Q&A on after the presentation?

We are cancelling a session of a webinar series. I only see an option to delete the date from occurrences, but this doesn't seem to notify the people who are already registered for the series about the cancellation. Is there a way in Zoom to do this? 

We are happy to send a separate email, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something. 

Hi all,

I'm an English tutor and have just returned back to teaching online after the Christmas break. My webcam - which is internal - works fine for the first 5 minutes and then begins glitching like a VHS tape... and then returns back to normal... and then begins glitching again. I have tried uninstalling Zoom and updating all drivers. Any ideas? I do pay for Zoom too. 

We have multiple panelists sort thru questions in the Q&A window during 45 minute presentations. We do not want them to send answers back to the attendees during the presentations but suggest panelists select questions and type out answers but not send the replies until our 30 minute questions and answers period.

Previously (Dec 2022) panelists could select multiple questions and their names would display under the selected questions so all the panelists. 

Now, Zoom will only allow one question to be selected at a time. If you type in an answer but not send it, the answer will stay under the question for the panelist who typed that answer but none of our other panelists know an answer was typed out for that question.

What changed?

When using a CSV to import webinar data, descriptions that contain " or ' get rejected as bad requests. How can I escape the quotes in either excel or the parameter. I tried putting \ before each quote in excel.

I have two questions regarding hosting a pre-recorded webinar:

1. I will be sharing a video which will include slides (text + image) as well as a demo of on-screen software - should I disable the Optimize Video feature when building the Zoom event?
2. I want attendees to only see the pre-recorded content on their screen and not the avatars of me and my co-host (we will be on mute and cameras off until the very end) - how can I do this? Having the avatars of us show up on screen takes away screen real estate and I want attendees to focus on the video.
