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.

Using the new Session Admin? Click here to learn where in the new dashboard 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 tab in your webinar dashboard. In this tab, 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, select the blue Edit Presenter linklocated on the bottom of their presenter profile.

If you haven’t already added your presenter to your session, select the blue Add New Presenter button, create a profile for that person, then return to this step.


While editing the presenter's information, you'll find this setting under the Permissions section. Select Enter as an Attendee, as shown in the image below. 

Enter as attendee in the Session Admin

To set your presenters to enter as an attendee, go to the Presenters page, edit a presenter, and go into the Permissions tab. Look for the Permission tier setting and set the presenter to Attendee.
