 Channel presenters are not the same as Guest Presenters added to a specific webinar. Guest presenters only have access (based on their assigned privileges) to the webinar they are added to. Channel Presenters have access to all the webinars within the Channel and can create webinars. A Channel presenter must have a host license, a Guest Presenter does not.
