Webinar - Hide Participants but Allow Chat

I know I can hide participants in webinar mode for privacy but can I still allow for chat? I am conducting a virtual focus group and participants have the option to enter a real or fake name, use their camera or not. Will the settings work?

    In Zoom Webinar, attendees do not have the option to be on camera, and they are muted. You can allow individual attendees to speak if you wish, but attendees cannot have their video on. You'd need to elevate an attendee to a panelist in order for that person to have video. Or, use Zoom Meetings instead of Webinar.

     

    Yes, you can have Chat during the Webinar.
