I'd like to have a webinar which starts as a standard webinar, but after the panelists' presentations allows ALL attendees to un-mute their audio AND video for the discussion.

 

Currently I set up two events, a webinar and meeting. Everyone has to leave the webinar and joint the meeting for discussion. It's a huge pain and we always loose a bunch of people.

I don't want to use chat or Q&A. I suppose a "promote all attendees to panelists" function would work. Typically, we have 20-50 attendees.

We held a webinar last night where almost all of the attendees appeared in the attendee panel of the webinar but an important person did not.  This person used the correct link and could watch and hear the webinar but I was unable to move them to panelist status when we needed to because they didn't show up in the attendee panel.

 

Any ideas of what would have caused this to happen?

 

Thanks

Can I pass in a value to a registration custom question via URL?

In the Registration Settings, I set up a required custom question as a single answer drop down.

 

Let's say, I'm asking for registrants to select Dept within a list of Dept1, Dept2, Dept3, Dept4 during the registration process.  

 

Is there a way for me to pass in a "Default" Dept value via the Webinar Registration Link.   For example, if I'm inviting everyone in my email list that works in Dept2, I want to send them the URL link such that when they click on it, "Dept2" is already selected or populated but could still be changed if they needed to change it.

 

I was thinking I could pass in the value of Dept Variable, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.    Thanks in Advance.

Good morning all, hoping you can help.

 

We'll soon be running a live webinar and, about halfway through, want to play a 10 minute video file.  I can't seem to find a place as a webinar host to actually embed that video so that I can just click 'play' and it'll start showing to all participants.

I may be being dense, but surely there's an option somewhere to upload the video file before the webinar starts which is then just ready to play at the click of a button - rather than having to load it up in a different video player, then having to switch screens and 'share' the host's screen?

 

Many thanks in advance!

Usage<active users report indicates 87 participants but when I click on the hyperlink, there is nothing displayed.

Hi, 

 

I can't figure out how to do 2 things:

1. Make a co-host of the webinar, I can only see panelists addition

2. Enable waiting room in webinar, like meetings

 

Also, when I changed the date of my recent webinar, the added calendar invite doesn't refresh or get removed, this is a request I wanted to raise to zoom.
