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 questions.
Currently, must promote them to Organizer, which gives them the power to END the meeting. I always warn them
when it's necessary to do this. I point out Exit Webinar vs End
Webinar should they need to withdraw from the session. It has still happened by accident.
It also gives them too many other powers, like ability to dismiss people. Mostly it works out okay, until the curious "organizer" starts clicking on options!

I am requesting that this feature be added to GoToWebinar: provide panelist the ability to see all questions and to answer questions. This features was requested back in 2014 and is still needed in 2021. Please make this feature available.
I would like to request an improvement so that the Guests (Panelist) can see the questions asked by the attendees, or that the secondary organizers cannot end the webinar or recording of it.
Gostaria de solicitar uma melhoria para que os Convidados (Panelist) possam ver as perguntas feitas pelos participantes, ou que os organizadores secundários não possam encerrar a webinar ou a gravação dele.
I also get feedback from both presenters and attendees constantly on this. Biggest reason that we also use Zoom for webinars because the attendees cannot see the Questions coming in GoToWebinar. To compete with Zoom, GoToWebinar should absolutely create an option to allow attendees to see the Questions (just like we have one for them to see the attendee list) so we can decide for ourselves what level of moderation each session will have. Sometimes we want the Questions open, and sometimes we want it more closed. Would be nice to have a checkbox option.
We also have to use multiple webinar platforms because the attendees cannot see the Questions coming in GoToWebinar.

Its amazing that this same request and issues around a co-organizer being able to end a webinar for everyone when you just want them to see the questions dates back to 2014! It's 2020.
Adding another vote for this to be added!
I support this. We get many presenters that would prefer to have the audience help decide which questions to cover during Q&A. And instead of getting the same question over and over, they can just 'upvote' it.
This could be a feature to turn on/off as needed. Privacy doesn't have to be an issue because the attendees would only need to see the question but not who asked it.
A great alternative would be to have two options for attendees -
Ask a general, public question
Private question sent only to organizers
That is not currently possible, though it has been mentioned here many time.
