I set up a webinar as requested by my manager once the webinar started and the attendees the host then realised they should have requested a meeting. Could I have then converted the webinar with the attendees already joined into a meeting.

I know how to set up a webinar for a future date and change this into a meeting and vice versa but cant find anything on if this was possible with a webinar that had already started with joined attendees.

Hi Faculty04,

Unfortunately you cannot convert a webinar in progress to a meeting.

Has this been changed? I'm planning a candidates' forum for a board election and would like to have a webinar for the candidates' presentations, then change it to a meeting to enable participants to be seen, ask questions, and engage the candidates in dialogue. Also, moving to a meeting would give us the ability to mute overly persistent candidates (who would become participants) and audience participants. We would, of course, explain this at inception and again when we changed to the interactive Q&A (meeting) format

Did you figure out a workaround for this? I'm experiencing something similar. We want to have a webinar where participants mainly watch and then switch them into breakout rooms (I imagine would require the standard zoom link)
