Our ward has decided to use Zoom Webinar as our means of streaming Sacrament Meetings. It always opens up in practice mode as the default. Is there a way to turn that off so it opens to the meeting? I'm the ward tech and struggle with that. Our Stake Tech doesn't answer my texts. PLEASE help.

From Using Webinar practice session:

To enter the practice session, the host, alternative host, and panelist need to simply join the webinar before the host begins broadcasting the webinar live to attendees, as the webinar will begin in the practice session when started. The host or co-host can start broadcasting when everyone is ready.

Edit the webinar and uncheck, "Enable Practice Session". It will then immediately start in live broadcast mode.

I'm not finding that setting anywhere. Thanks though.
