Presenters
Presenters are on-camera speakers in a live event. Their roles differ slightly between WebinarJam and EverWebinar.
Presenters in WebinarJam
In WebinarJam, presenters actively participate in the event. Before the webinar begins, presenters use their unique access link to enter the live room.
WebinarJam Presenters:
Appear on camera during the live webinar
Perform an audio and video settings check when they enter the live room
Are listed on the registration page and in notification emails
Can turn their camera and microphone on and off during the event
Can access and control the live room features such as the agenda, polls, offers, etc.
Can post public messages, highlights, and tips in the webinar chat
Can send private messages to attendees and other presenters
Can moderate chat messages and block attendees if needed
The host presenter starts and ends the live broadcast and can assign admin permissions to other presenters. Note that the presenter limit in the live room includes both presenters and moderators.
Presenters in EverWebinar
EverWebinar events are automated rather than live. Because of this, presenters do not appear on camera. In EverWebinar, presenter access links only provide Control Panel access. Presenters:
Are listed on the webinar registration page and in notification emails
Can access the Control Panel during the event
Moderators
Moderators support the webinar behind the scenes and do not appear on camera. They can:
Use a unique access link to log in to the Control Panel at the time of the live event
Access and control the live room features such as the agenda, polls, offers, and other widgets
Post public messages, highlights, and tips in the chat
Send private messages to attendees and other presenters
Remove messages from the webinar chat and block attendees

Adding Presenters and Moderators
You can maintain a global list of presenters and reuse them across your webinars. Once a presenter is added to your list, you can add them to any webinar without entering their details again.
Adding a presenter to the global list
Edit your webinar
Go to Configuration > Webinar presenters
Click on Create to add a presenter to the global list
A pop-up box will allow you to add the presenter's name and email address. A presenter's role needs to be assigned separately for each webinar using the toggle. The same person can be a presenter in one webinar and a moderator in another.
Important: This toggle is only available for WebinarJam Enterprise users, as moderator access is limited to the Enterprise plan.
Add a presenter from your presenter list
If you’ve already added a presenter to your global presenter list, you can add them to your webinar without entering their details again.
In the Configuration tab, edit the Webinar presenters module.
Select a presenter from your presenter list by clicking the plus icon.
Choose whether to add them as a Presenter or Moderator.
Click Save.
