Allow Panelist(s) to See All Questions
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...

I am having the same problem. My panelists can't see the questions that attendees are asking. Only I can see them. What I am doing wrong here?

- Tony Tissot110 years agoActive ContributorI want to keep this request live. Add a way for a panelist to see all questions - Without having to be made an Organizer.
- Ken410 years agoFrequent ContributorAgree with JHB and Ken. That's all I'm saying is they need to be able to view questions box as panelist without giving them organizer rights. I'm not worried about the polling as a panelist because I give them keyboard and mouse controls from a 2nd computer of mine anyway, so they see the results like the attendees once the results are shared.
Panelist should see the question section. Thanks - JHB11 years agoFrequent ContributorNo. Panelists can be added during configuration and anyone can be promoted to panelist or organizer DURING the session. Until recently, it had to be license holder in your group to set someone as an co-organizer during configuration, but they recently added the functionality to name external organizers. Those named organizers can't EDIT the meeting but they arrive in the organizer role, with all those those permissions.
- Mary J11 years agoNew MemberDoes the panelist have to own a GoToWebinar account to select them as a co-organizer?
- klmonline11 years agoContributorI agree strongly with JHB. Giving all presenters and assistants Organizer status just so they can see attendee questions is overkill. I don't want them able to accidentally do organizer-level tasks such as changing people's status, changing event options, or ending the meeting. They just need to see the questions coming from the people they are talking to as a presenter!

- JHB11 years agoFrequent ContributorI really wish this could be an organizer choice - to allow a specific panelist (or all panelists) to view all questions. Promoting them to Organizer 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. It has still happened by accident.
Latest time was this week, but - luckily - it was at the very end. We (staff) had planned to stay on for brief wrap up meeting after attendees signed off but speaker who had to leave killed the meeting. I'll add it under "ideas", but just wanted to point out the danger of making someone an organizer. - GlennD12 years agoGoTo ManagerHi Gary, the GoToMeeting software on that computer must have had the Organizers account details saved in the Preferences, since it was being used to join a webinar on the Organizer's account they were logged in as them.
That being said, having multiple Organizers on the webinar should not prevent any of them from starting the broadcast. Everyone listed as Organizer (same account or not), has the same ability to start and end the webinar, record, assign questions to Panelists etc - Gary Herman12 years agoNew MemberI had a situation yesterday when an invited panelist used a computer previously designated (and used) as the webinar organizer. They used the invite panelist email link - despite that action - they were logged in as an organizer. Another computer was used to start the webinar session, so 2 organizer were displayed.
When the webinar was broadcasted (started) by the first organizer (me) - the session did not actually start to the attendees.
What actions are permitted when 2 organizers are designated within the session?
