On the Web Version of Zoom is Private chat working so attendees can chat with each other?

Also is there a way to allow attendees to see a list of panelists and attendees within the Webinar?

Hey @Meathead,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Currently, the [Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web#zoom-web-sdk) does not support Viewing Participants as an Attendee nor does it support private chat between attendees when in a webinar.

If you would like these features to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category.

Thanks,  
Max

Thank you for your response. It looks like the Web SDK is lacking a few features that would be nice to have. I will make sure I ask for them in the feature requests.
