We want to start as a "webinar" for 1.5 hours then turn the “webinar" into a “meeting" for an after-chat for those who want to stay and discuss the webinar.  Can this be done during a webinar, or do we have to invite participants back in with a different link as a meeting?

Hey @freedog16,

 

Unfortunately, you cannot convert a webinar into a meeting as it is happening. You can try dropping a separate meeting link instead for your attendees to have an after-chat session with you and your team.
