Allowing Presenters to Enter the Webinar Room as an Attendee

Presenters are able to enter the session as an attendee, giving them less ability to control the session when live and also view the session from an attendee's perspective.

Still using the classic admin? Click here to learn where you can find these settings.

As a BigMarker admin you can make it so that a presenter will see a virtual session as an attendee. This will give them the audience experience while also listing them as a presenter. If you have an automated session where your presenters are not live on camera, or if you have an event where a presenter may be added to a session but is not participating, this setting allows them to enjoy the webinar as an attendee.

Important: At this access level, presenters do not have any abilities to control the content of the webinar or access the host control panel. They are effectively the same as any other attendee inside of the room.

 In this article, learn how to change the permission level of your presenters to Enter As Attendee. 

Note: This permission level is not available for admins on the BigMarker channel hosting the session. That is, an admin on a channel hosting a session cannot set their access level to Enter As Attendee.

How to Set Presenters to Enter as Attendees in their Presenter Profile

Navigate to the Presenters section in your session admin. In this page, you’ll find a list of all presenters that have been added to your BigMarker session. In each presenter’s profile, you can change their access levels. 

If you have already added your presenter to your session, click on New presenter or Add saved presenterlocated on the bottom of their presenter profile. Otherwise click Edit presenter

While editing the presenter's information, go into the Permissions tab. Look for the Permission tier setting and set the presenter to Attendee.

Enter as attendee in the classic admin

To set your presenters to enter as an attendee, go to the Presenters page, edit a presenter, and look for the Enter as attendee checkbox.
