Re: Chat Ability for All Attendees
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.2.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Inactivate Questions Functionality, Use Chat Instead
I like the idea of an option for attendees to chat with each other. We looked at GoToTraning and it doesn't fit our needs as well as GoToWebinar. Often we have smaller groups on a discussion-based webinar and we unmute their lines (individually, which is time-consuming, but that's another issue). It would be very helpful to have the option to allow attendees to chat with each other so they could share resources and tips while someone else is talking.3.4KViews0likes0Comments
