This issue should now be resolved in webcast webinars. Please let us know if you see it recur again.
We switched to all Webcasts this year since we routinely hit the 1,000 attendee limit. Have hosted 2 live webcasts now. A large percentage of viewers say they cannot see the panelist's screen unless they manually refresh their browser (F5). When we switch to the presenter's screen all is good. When we switch back to the panelist's screen, this same percentage only see the "waiting to view _____'s screen". If they manually refresh their browser it works. But then they lose the entire chat log. Viewers' browsers being used who are affected by the bug include Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Why is this happening and what is the resolution?
Hello, this solution has worked for us as well. We tried this way because of local authority's IT restrictions which prohibit software downloads. The attendees of our last webinar could take part, but every time when a new screen had been shared, the user had to refresh the browser to be able to see the shared slides and therefore had to login in again.
Is it possible to avoid the necessity to refresh the browser when the attendee takes part via Instant Join app?
euridice This is a known issue we are currently addressing with the GoToWebinar web app. I expect a full resolution within the next few weeks.
Thanks for your patience.
Can someone please give us an update on this issue? Still a problem with screen freeze after presenter switch, audio issues, login issues. Video recording is fine and these issues are not seen by all. Didn't have these issues with the webinar version - only seems to be happening with the webcast versions. Please update this thread and let us know is being done to correct these issues.
b_martinez I believe we are in the final rounds of testing on this issue. Hopefully I will have more information in the coming days, and I thank you for your patience.
