Using the Livestream as a Privacy and Safety toolConsider whether you need your audience to use the built-in Webex Chat, Q&A or breakout sessions. If these are not necessary, then you may consider using the Livestream to reach your audience. You would then send the a regular Meeting invite to only the Panelists, and then livestream to your audience. From the public's point of view, watching the livestream is functionally equivalent to watching a YouTube video; they do not establish a two-way connection like they would with Meetings/Webinars; they can only view. Depending on which platform you use to host your Livestream, you may have a chat function available for your viewers. Learn how to live stream at Webex Live-Streaming. |
