Webinar Practice Session

Select Enable Practice Session when scheduling the webinar to create an opportunity for the Host, Alternative Hosts, and Panelists to connect to the session any day or time before the actual even start date and time without impacting the scheduled Webinar.  As described, this is a 'practice session' to prepare before attendees join the session.

• Attendees will not be able to join the webinar while in Practice Session mode.
• The Participant list will show zero attendees until the webinar is broadcast.
• Important: If you start the recording while in Practice Session, the recording will include all activities and conversations prior to broadcasting.
