    Chris is correct, there is no way to pause the broadcast temporarily, the Staff can chat privately but that is all. If you need to talk you could mute your microphones and then join a separate conference call from another device.

No, but this suggestion has been discussed here before, specifically being able to end the broadcast at the end of the webinar so the panelists and Organizer can chat after the webinar.

    Thanks for your post.  I am aware you can end a broadcast, and have a de-brief with colleagues afterwards. 

     

    However, this doesn't temporarily halt a session, to resolve an issue.  Unless of course I am missing something? This action, to me sounds 'final' and you won't be able to bring everyone back in after a minute of resolving an issue.

     

    Thank you

      As far as I know, you cannot end a broadcast to have a debrief with colleagues.  If you end the broadcast, the webinar is over, and nobody can talk to anyone.  If you are doing this, I would like to know how.
