Can I promote a user to a different role during a webinar?

Promoting an attendee to a presenter role with greater room access is very easy to do in Webinato.

• Start by left-clicking on the user name you want to promote from the Participants List. Select "Grant Controls" from the popup menu

• You should see another popup window allowing you to choose what controls to grant the user

• Here is what the different check boxes do:
  • Presenter: Grants full Presenter access to the user, including Microphone, Webcam and Media Tab/Tools Control
  • Microphone: This allows the user to use their microphone.
  • Webcam & Microphone: Allows access to both their webcam and microphone
  • Media and Tools Control: Allows the user to control various media modules and tolls in the room. This can be further specified with:
    • Full Control: Allows the user to have full control over every module and tool
    • Only Screen Sharing: The user only has access to start/stop the Screen Sharing Engine on their computer.
• Once the access level is chosen, click OK. The user will be notified that they have been given elevated privileges:
