Help Zoom Events: How to disable speakers from entering the webinar from the backstage?

How do you disable speakers from entering the webinar from the backstage? As well as disable them from leaving the webinar into the backstage.

    @KEG1 Hi there, if you enable backstage then speakers will automatically join the virtual green room. They can then move themselves in and out of the webinar. The host also had the ability to do this for them if they need to assist.

    This cannot be disabled currently as the idea is to allow the presenters or hosts to have that capability.

    Hi, how can I prevent speakers in Zoom Webinar Plus from starting the webinar? At the moment, they can join the backstage and start the session, but only the host or alternative host should have that permission.
