Hosting webinars with multiple (external) people can be challenging. You want to limit the risk that something unexpected happens during your live webinar. Speaker permissions help with this.
How to invite speakers
Go to the webinar you want to invite your speakers to. There are 2 different invitations. Each with their own set of rules.
Admin permissions link
This is the general link. You'll find it on the upcoming webinar cards as the Studio link. With this link, you have all permissions, including going live.
If you want to limit other speakers from starting and ending the event you can use the speaker link. You can only access this link from the studio, which is explained below.
Speaker permissions link or limited access
If you want to invite speakers to your webinar, and you or a colleague is functioning as the host/moderator. Here's what the limited access
Can do | Cannot do |
Control Slides | Go live / end event |
Use public/speaker chat | Launch polls |
Share screen | Launch Q&A |
Add/Remove to stream | Launch Topics |
Blur webcam | Launch Widgets |
Change name/role | Change layouts |
| Change brand settings |
You'll find the limited access link in the share menu of your event:
This is the view for your speakers, as you can see features like polls and QA are missing:
Alternatively, when you're already in the studio, go to the top left corner, click on the icon next to backstage. Now click on the speaker invite link and it'll be copied to your clipboard.
Always make sure that at least one person in the webinar has an Admin invite link so that you can start the event.
