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 have the attendees interact with each other -
We have a weekly webinar on the same day, and same time EVERY week. Our clients like to be able to come to the event and interact with each other - and with the GoToMeeting there is no way to do that.
Only the organizer can see the "Questions" from attendees.
Let us know if there are plans to FIX this, thanks!

This should be prioritized and be available as soon as possible since a lot of customers need it.
2014-2022, 8 Years and no solution !!!!
I am sad to see this thread because it for reasons like this, where GoToWebinar is a great platform missing a few very key features, which has been the case for YEARS, my company moved exclusively to Zoom in 2021. I miss GoToWebinar's dashboard and reporting because both are far superior to Zoom's. However, we could no longer afford to provide virtual events with limited participant interaction opportunities other than audio. Participant video and chat, along with polls and registration, are now standard expectations and GoToWebinar did not keep up with repeated requests for these features. I was hanging on to G2W until the end of 2020, when it became clear the features we really needed were either very far off in the future or never coming.
Yes absolutely, if that is an option, it's okk for me. But this feature should be exist for a long time. At each webinar, attendees are unhappy that they couldn't see the messages from other attendees.
This feature would need to be an (on / off) option since in our educational activities we can't have attendees chat with others during the program.
Thanks
We have a great need for this functionality too, we are satisfied with LogMeIn products but if this functionality is not developed soon, we will probably go to another solution.
What worries me is that the original request for this post was from 2014 ... is an update planned ??It is unfortunate, the participants are asking for this functionality. There should be an option to allow it.
Customer would like the chat function to be available for all attendees and not just for organizer and panelist. They are also interested if a third party software is available to function as described.
The client gave the idea that webinar users could talk to each other. The client said it would be good because they could exchange experiences and talk about what they think of the webinar as it happens
People in my building are beginning to use a different virtual meeting tool, because it does have the attendee chat feature. This other meeting tool lacks many of the GoToWebinar features that make for a great webinar, but my colleagues are willing to sacrifice meeting quality to get the chat feature they desire.
