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...
This is an old, well-known request. But it needs to be hammered into the heads of product management on a daily basis until they finally change it.
You simply HAVE to change authority levels so that panelists can see attendee questions. I regularly work webinars with a moderator, three or four speakers, and maybe two people helping behind the scenes to prioritize and answer submitted questions. Currently I am forced to make all of them organizers just so they can work with the question panel.
That means I have 7 people who accidentally start my broadcast before I'm ready. 7 people who accidentally hit Exit-End Meeting instead of Exit-Leave Meeting. 7 people who have a checkmark on Start Recording Automatically, when I actually want to start the recording manually. It's a disaster. Don't force me to give everyone on the team permission to control the entire session just so they can see questions.
[Associated/alternate product design idea - Move those session controls somewhere else where they are not prominently displayed to all organizers. Record on Start, Start Broadcast, and End Meeting are too powerful to spread around the display, next to other frequently-used items. Put them in their own command menu separate from all the other stuff. ]
I've been asking for a level between organizer and panelist for years to do exactly what you specify. I think the "Sub-organizer" moniker already in use would be a good title since there is curretly very little difference between an orgnaizer and a sub-organizer. It is nice to have a level like "Panelist" that does not see all the questions and comments though.
Keep asking!
