Chat in webinars & meetings

I am hosting a virtual conference and need chat enabled for meetings but turned off for webinars except to my panelists. I do not see this setting anywhere within the meeting/webinar set up, only in account settings. Is this possible? Does anyone have step by step instructions?

    Please see below from our KB article on controlling chat access during a webinar session

    How to control chat access during a meeting or webinar

    Meeting and webinar hosts can control whether participants can chat with everyone, with panelists and the host (for webinars), or with the host only. 

    1. Start a meeting or webinar as host. 
    2. Click Chat in the meeting controls.
    3. At the bottom of the in-meeting Zoom Group Chat window, click More 
       

       

      , and then choose an option for Participant Can Chat With.
      • For meetings, the host can allow participants to chat with everyone or with the host only. 
      • For webinars, the host can allow attendees to chat with no one, with all panelists (including host), or with all panelists and attendees.
