Is there a method to retrieve a Panelists email invite WITHOUT having it send the email? Most notably I would like to retrieve the unique passcodes and join links of each. This is for single session live webinar in Zoom events. I am used to the regular Zoom Webinar setup where when you add a panelist, you could retrieve their unique join links and passcodes by "Copying Invite" in the panelist area, or by exporting the panelist list (which i see is no longer an option either). For the way In utilize Zoom Events/Webinar, emails cannot be sent out to the panelists, and I had this setting turned off in Zoom Webinar.

Hey! We host webinars which involve multiple speakers who join the session as panellists. For the chat, we set it up so that attendees can chat with hosts and panellists, and panellists can chat with everyone. 

 

We've recently found that occasionally some panellists are unable to directly respond to messages from attendees, with all attendees' names being greyed out. This issue doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason, with panellists being seemingly randomly affected by it - they can join the webinar one week and be fine, then find they have the issue the next. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this?

I'm being added to webinars i didn't sign up for by people i don't know.

I don't know how they got my information but i got zoom meeting confirmations and reminders for webinars that I didn't sign up for.

And the organizer is obviously very shady. They use throwaway email addresses as their reply-to email adds. 

 

It's messing up my calendar cos these webinars are automatically added to my calendar.

Isn't this a privacy and personal data violation? How can I stop this?

Hi everyone,

 

An issue that has arisen today - I'm hosting lots of upcoming events and was running some of the technical rehearsals today with some of the panelists but none of them were able to join the practice session as they were going into the attendees list. Help! It worked for one when I deleted their original link and sent them a new panellists one but I don't want to have to do this for all of the other panelists.

 

Many thanks,

 

Kimberley

Hi all,

I need a bit of guidance for Saturday's webinar, I have two quick points to address to ensure a smooth experience.

Firstly, I've already distributed the attendee link. However, I now need to generate separate, unique invitation links specifically for our 15 panelists who will be joining before the general attendees. Could you please advise on how I can create this panelist list and generate these individual links?

Secondly, I want to double-check that all attendees will definitely be muted automatically when they join the webinar. Could you please guide me on how to verify this setting within the platform?

Thanks so much for your help in making sure everything runs seamlessly!

I added panelists to a webinar and sent them their panelists links from within Zoom. One of the panelists received her link via a Microsoft Teams notification instead of via email. Is there a setting that I may have accidentally enabled to make this happen when I was setting up the webinar? Or is this a setting on the panelist's end?

Zoom Room as a Panelist in a webinar

We've set up a webinar and invited one of our Zoom Rooms as a Panelist. The webinar appears on the controller in the room (it's a Neat Bar system), but when we join the webinar, it only joins as a Participant, NOT a Panelist. While we can promote them within the meeting, our use case will often be that the Zoom Room is invited by an external party to a Zoom webinar, and we'd prefer not to have to walk them through the promotion of the participant to a panelist.

 

Why can we not join the meeting as a panelist?

Hello All, 

 

I'm hosting a Zoom webinar shortly, but running into difficulties.

 

I have taken off the "practice session" and clicked on "start this webinar" button. The meeting runs with only me present, but it still appears as upcoming, even though the time has passed. Basically, I have no way to start the webinar. I cannot find the broadcast button at the top. After I click start or start this webinar button, the application boots up and it is automatically recorded. I end the session and it makes no difference. I have updated OS and Zoom to the latest. 

 

TIA

Adjusting size of presenter when viewing webinar

I'm posting from the POV of a webinar attendee, not as a host/planner. I am using Zoom Workplace version 6.4.0 on Mac Ventura. I swear there used to be a way for me, as an attendee, to adjust the size of the presenter's camera view while they are sharing their screen.  For example, you could have the presenter and their PowerPoint side-by-side, and drag to adjust the size of the presenter  relative to the size of their PowerPoint slide. Now all I see is the option to switch between the slide and a camera view up top that is so tiny you can barely make out the presenter's face. If you switch, then the shared PowerPoint is way too small.

 

I realize that if you go full screen, you gain some control, but this is awkward compared to the side-by-side view, requiring multiple clicks rather than just dragging to adjust. I swear I looked through all of the view settings and can't see a way to switch to a view that makes the presentation engaging -- in other words, you can clearly see the slides, and their face, side by side, at the same time.

 

I don't see an option to share a screenshot, so here's a link to a (heavily-redacted) one:

How to enable webinar panelists to see live poll results

The panelists in my webinar would like to see the results of the poll before they are shared with the webinar. Is it possible to give them access? Or do we need to make them co-hosts to see this? 

 

Thanks,
Mary
