Description
I’m looking for a way to trigger programmatically the function of promoting an attendee in a webinar to a panelist. I see in the web UI you can perform the function but I don’t see anywhere in the webSDK documentation that their is function to perform this.
Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. While there isn’t a function to accomplish this with the WebSDK. Have you tested using the Add Webinar Panelists API?
I have not tested, I did see that you could add to the panelist list through the API, however I didn’t think this would affect an attendee that was already in an ongoing webinar. Would adding to the panelists list make the user disconnect and reconnect as a panelist?
Thank you for the update. Using the Add Webinar Panelists API won’t disconnect a user from the webinar, but you can use it to add someone who is attending a webinar as a panelist. They would then have to leave and rejoin the webinar to be a panelist.
If the ability to dynamically add panelists via the API is a feature you would like to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category.
@MaxM thanks for getting back to me, just one last question does zoom have any roadmap of features/requests that have been accepted and they are working on implementing?
Thank you for your question. We don’t have a roadmap that is specific to feature requests that have been accepted but we do have a Developer Roadmap on trello that is updated on a quarterly basis.
