Presenter and moderator roles

Each webinar has one host presenter by default. You can include additional users with different roles:

• Presenter
• Moderator

Presenters

Presenters are on-camera speakers in a live event. Their role differs 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.

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 login 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
