Hi Glenn, 

You say the Staff can chat privately during a live broadcast?  That would also be a solution for us.  I sometimes have a technical expert on the broadcasts with me to help with some of the technical questions from the delegates.  I usually use the Chat facility to talk to them, but talking would be a great alternative. 

 

Could you please advise how we can do this please?  

 

Thank you for your input on this.

When GlennD said Chat, he meant the Chat feature where staff can text each other. 

Once the webinar has started, you cannot talk to anyone without the entire audience hearing.
