Chat feature not helpful
Is anyone else frustrated with the restrictions on the chat feature in GTW? We often want the ability for our attendees to put information in the chat to share and be seen by all the attendees. But there is no way to do this. Are there any plans to expand the chat functionality to allow attendee use? Also, as an organizer, I wasn't able to pin a chat from an attendee, only organizer messages. Example: I had a chat with an attendee, they supplied some useful information, but I couldn't pin it for everyone to see. Any suggestions or workarounds to make it more interactive? I've tried in both standard events and webcasts. Thanks!
Time Zone No Longer Auto-Adjusting to Attendee's Time Zone
I spent an hour on the phone with a GoToWebinar tech support person (Estaban, case #21859199), only for him to be unable to resolve it. I am hoping someone here can tell me how to fix it. Beginning about two months ago, the time zone reflected in each attendee's registration email no longer dynamically adjusted the webinar to their start time. It always had it in Central Time. For example, the email put the time in the Central Time Zone for an attendee who is in the Pacific Time Zone. This happened with our last webinar as well--causing people to miss the event because they had the wrong time. I believe (and it was also suggested by the support tech, though he couldn't resolve it) that this is because we don't use the GoToWebinar-built registration page. We build our own registration page on our site, which we then integrate via the Hubspot integration option. We need to do this for internal company reasons; the company will not allow us to use the GoToWebinar-built registration page. Is there a workaround to get the time to adjust to the attendees' time zone? I don't understand why GoToWebinar claims it integrates with Hubspot, only to leave such a gap in the service.
