End a webinar for attendees, but organizers and panelists remain logged in.

I often host webinars with external bodies as presenters. It would be great to be able to end the webinar (stop broadcasting) and be able to have the organisers still on to discuss the webinar with the presenters, instead of having to arrange some other way to communicate when we're all already on the line. This could also be useful for go-to-meeting, as many meetings in my workplace will continue with the senior staff once other attendees have left.

Hi Lisa,

Chris is correct, there is no way to end the webinar for only the attendees. You can dismiss people from the attendee list but one the audio broadcast has been started it's not possible to limit the conference call to webinar staff again. Since GoToWebinar includes a GoToMeeting license, you could launch a GoToMeeting for everyone to join after the webinar has ended.

Product Request:   It would be very helpful if - at end of webinar I could "end broadcast" and return to practice mode with the panelists.  This would allow a post-webinar debriefing discussion.    Current arrangement is very harsh (verging on rude) and abrupt end of discussion with the (in my case remote/overseas ) panelist 

A feature like this would be great to have. We currently use GTW for board meetings that are open to the public. This allows us to promote or allow attendees to speak during public comment and then place them back on a hard mute. However, when it comes time for a closed session, we have to have all our board members disconnect from GTW  and jump on a GTM where we can see who is exactly in the GTM and lock it down. After the GTM everybody has to jump back on the GTW to report out. Pretty cumbersome stuff, GTW -> GTM -> GTW. 2 sets of invites for panelist to manage. 

It would be great to be able to dismiss all attendees, even those on the phone, to a waiting room so the panelist, organizer and co-organizers can conduct a meeting in private and then allow attendees back into the webinar when the private meeting is over.  We would pay for this feature!

Is there a way to end the webinar for attendees but leave it open for staff so that the organisers and panellists can have a short debrief afterwards? If so, what do I need to do to make that happen? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

Hello, after webinars, we schedule a separate meeting for the organizers and panelists to meet to discuss how we thought the webinar went. It would be great to have a Practice mode (or follow-up mode) to meet afterwards and not jump on another call. Thanks!

include a Stop broadcast feature so we can have post-event calls with the presenters after the webinar ends

This would be a great feature! Maybe once breakout rooms are available this could be one of the options: Break out room for Organizers and panelists only.
