Allow Organizers to control which webcams attendees see

Hi Glenn,

I would like an ability to turn on/off webcams.  Specifically, I suggest to add a feature to manually change the speaker cameras that attendees view. There should be a way for organizers to have the option to push the webcam view to the attendees to see only the active speaker view or a gallery view or select speakers.  

In the classic version, I can simulate this by manually turning cameras off and on (which sends the speaker a request to activate their camera).

  • In the new version of the GoTo app (even in the Chrome browser) the Organizer can't shut down the webcam of a single Expert. That was a very useful function of the past versions of the GoToWebinar app (back when there was a specific app for Webinar). This function is vital if you are having a Webinar with multiple Experts, and one of them forgets to close his webcam, resulting even in embarassing moments. You should think about enable that again.

    Hi Conny,

     

    You can click on a Panelist in your attendee list and disable their webcam if needed, but not another Organizer's webcam.

     

     

     

  • Hey everyone,

    in the past it was possible for an organizer to switch off the camera of another organizer or speaker.

    For example if someone leaves his desk and forget to switch off his camera.

    Are there plans to integrate this function again?
    Or can this problem be solved differently?

    Thank you!
    Best regards
