Hiding Q&A from Panelists

Hi there,

I am hosting a webinar with some vulnerable people as Panelists. I would rather they did NOT see the questions coming in from attendees in the Q&A, as it’s a sensitive subject. I would prefer me, as the host, sees the questions and fields them to the appropriate panelist verbally, for them to answer.

I have the Zoom Webinars account, with up to 1,000 attendees.

Looking at other support comments and speaking to the Virtual Agent, they suggested two things:

• “When scheduling or editing your webinar, go to the Q&A section and uncheck Allow panelists to view attendee-submitted questions.” - But this option does not exist. 
• And it suggested I use the Chat function instead - and limit what Panelists can see in the Chat. However, I do not have any option of Chat function either.

Thanks - any help much appreciated!
