The GoTo Community is currently experiencing some technical issues affecting new posts and comments. You may need to reload the page you are on before you can post a comment. We are actively working with our service provider and apologize for the frustration.
Not so much a question as a feature request. (I thought we had a category for that.) Please add the ability for an organizer to allow a specific panelist (or all panelists) to view ALL question...
When we host webinars, I am the organizer and our panelists are at remote locations.
Is there an easy way to share questions with the panelists without using the Chat function? They want to review the questions before responding to them during the webinar.
Thanks in advance!
The dedicated Question and Answer feature is the best way to manage questions during a webinar, it allows you to answer questions in the order you choose, post the answer to the entire audience or just the attendee that asked it, and you can also assign specific questions to specific Panelists.
For large events, it is best to have a dedicated co-organizer managing the Q and A and assigning the questions to the Panelists. Check out our new training resource for more tips: https://embark.logmeininc.com/#gotowebinar
If you want to do it outside of the chat option, I suggest setting up a group text. I test the group texts in advance to make sure a text will work with their presentation flow or style. Use text to speech to add the question to your message. Or, you can use it to prompt them to check the chat in GTW. The best solution is to have all of the presenters and the moderator agree to a chat/communication process in advance. You have to find the right solution for your speakers - one that doesn't impact the presenters as they present.
Good luck!

I think the chat is the only way to do this within GoToWebinar. This allows you to send the questions directly to only that one panelist, or to all of the panelists at the same time.
Outside of GoTo, you could send the questions through an email or text message. With the heavy use of the Internet right now, those may be delayed.
