Can you have attendees in GoToWebinar talk or text "chat" to each other during a live 500 attendee event?? If you can't - PLEASE - change it so they can. It is terrible that there is no way to ha...

That's fine if Citrix is worried that some orgs might have privacy rules, but that's very obviously not a concern for many others (based on the large number of people asking for this feature). It seems simple enough to give us a checkbox on the webinar management page so you can CHOOSE if you want to prevent attendees from chatting.

We just switched to GoToWebinar and didn't realize attendees couldn't chat between each other. We would definately use this feature

We use this for training large groups and find having someone in the background engaging the users through the chat board helps keep users engaged in the content and share ideas and comments or just affirm what's being said. This works best when everyone can see the comments
- markcramer7 years agoNew MemberWhile some might not want this feature, we would. I'm not talking about private person-to-person chat, but open chat is a great way for folks to participate in a webinar. It seems like it should be a relatively easy thing to enable.
