unable to join Zoom mtgs as panelist

In all Zoom webinars, I've been unable to join as panelist, even though I clicked unique links sent to me in e-mail that should have allowed me to do so. Am I misunderstanding how Zoom works, or are there workarounds for this?

The Panelist user can not join Zoom as Panelist in Webinar Meeting. The normal cause of this is the panelist not being signed into Zoom prior to clicking on the link to join. If they are not signed in using the email that was added as a panelist, Zoom can not recognize them as a panelist and treats them as a guest

Thank you for  your reply. I was signed into Zoom when I clicked the link, though.
