Presenter and moderator roles

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Each webinar has one host presenter and the option to add two additional user types:

• Presenter (co-host on camera in WebinarJam, and control panel access in EverWebinar)
• Moderator (behind the scenes Control Panel management)

Add presenters and moderators at the Configuration > Webinar presenters step of the webinar setup. Click the toggle between Moderator and Presenter to change the role when adding a new user.
