  • Click on the Participants tab. In this menu, you can add participants to your webinar using one of 3 modes:


  • 1 - add participants manually: enter user’s First name (1), Last name (2), email (3), set a role (4) and click Add button (5). By default, new contacts are automatically saved in Address Book, unless you change this behavior (see the additional control options in this section):

    Note

    Note: When you add participants, you always need to indicate their role:

    • Speaker someone who runs the webinar, broadcasts their audio and video and controls various aspects of the webinar. There can be more than one speaker. Speakers have a number of privileges over other participants, which include: the ability to speak, show video, start the recording, manage other participants, use group chat for speakers, and more as you’ll see later in this Guide
    • Audience – mostly passive listeners of the webinar. By default, they don’t have permission to speak, unless allowed by speakers. If needed, they can interact using chat in Conversations, Questions and Answers, etc.

    There is also an Account holder – someone who sets up the webinar and the only person who can edit the details of the event before it starts. Account holder belongs to Speakers of the webinar by default. 


  • 2 - add participants from Address Book: you can add them one by one or select multiple participants

    Click the button Add from Address book:

    Select participants (1) and click Add (2):

    Note: Participants are added to the group (Speakers/ Audience) chosen above. So, if you want to add users from Address book to another group, make sure to adjust the setting accordingly:

  • Make visible on your public page (4): this option lets you display all events scheduled from your account on a dedicated public page. Depending on registration requirements, users may be able to join or register for your webinars through this page
  • Password-protect any recordings associated to the session (5): enable password protection of meeting recordings
  • Enable chat emojis (6): allow using emojis in chat
  • At the session login require guests to provide (57): choose which information to request from guests when they join the session via the link. Guests are those people who didn’t register for the webinar and weren’t invited via email, so they don’t have a private link to join
