End a webinar for attendees, but organizers and panelists remain logged in.

I often host webinars with external bodies as presenters. It would be great to be able to end the webinar (stop broadcasting) and be able to have the organisers still on to discuss the webinar with the presenters, instead of having to arrange some other way to communicate when we're all already on the line. This could also be useful for go-to-meeting, as many meetings in my workplace will continue with the senior staff once other attendees have left.

    After a webinar is finished would love a  way to allow the presenters and organizers to stay on to debrief after a webinar is complete.  I have presenters from across the country sometimes 3 different ones. Would love this to be a feature.

      I'll just stick a "ME TOO!" on this one.

      This feature would be really useful.

      It's already available before the webinar officially commences in "PRACTICE" mode, allowing all presenters/staff to interact without the attendees seeing or hearing anything until you click "START".

      I'm wondering how easy or difficult it would be for Citrix to add the same option to go back to PRACTICE mode or an option like "END WEBINAR FOR ALL ATTENDEES" instead of just the current option of ending the webinar for everyone.

      With the Practice mode we are simply blocking the Attendee joins and conference call numbers, so that only Organizers and Panelists are able to join. Once the broadcast has been started it does become more complicated, we will need to ensure all Attendees are disconnected without terminating the conference call for the Organizer and Panelists.

    You can manually remove the other attendees from the meeting. Would that be rude?

    Hi Ashley,

    Currently it is not possible to end the webinar for everyone but the webinar staff. Once the broadcast is started attendees can dial in to the conference call and will continue to be able to dial in until the call is ended. You could attempt to manually dismiss each of the attendees as Chris suggests, but that would not prevent any attendees dialed in by telephone from remaining on the conference call and listening to what is said.

    We would love this functionality. We have guests for our webinars and it's awkward to end the webinar and not be able to debrief afterwards without having everyone call back into a separate conference call. How do we recommend this so that it can happen? Am I wrong in assuming this would be a relatively easy function to add?

      Bump, would really get a lot of use out of this functionality...

    After the end of the webinar select if it wants to end only for the participants or for all.
