Panelist Quick Start Guide
Panelists can present, share their webcams, speak, answer questions assigned to them and be promoted (by organizer request). This role requires an invitation from the webinar organizer.
As soon as you join the webinar, you'll see a panelist-specific Control Panel with a "Panelist" description next to your name in the Attendee list. Once you're familiar with the Control Panel, you'll be able to use the tools special to the Panelist.
