Getting Started for Webinar Panelists¶
Unicko Webinar is a virtual platform for hosting large-scale events with a capacity of up to 2,000 attendees. It enables hosts and panelists to share audio, video, and presentations, and facilitates attendee interaction through Q&A and polling.
Panelists are guest speakers who can share their audio and video and answer attendee questions. They can broadcast their audio and video and participate in the Q&A. The host can promote one Panelist to Presenter, allowing them to deliver a presentation or share their screen. Panelists are designated before the session via a private invitation link or during the session by the host.
