    Thank you for the response.

     

    Do you happen to know if this is true of GoToWebinar as well?

      rickinwc   I understand the need to share the login credentials to host separate meetings by different users, however it can cause serious issues in GoToWebinar like accidentally ending a live broadcast or changing the attendance analytics overall for the account. 

       

      If you cannot assign separate credentials to individual team members then it is very important they log out of the software and online account before joining a shared session together.
