It's not currently possible, but the feature is on the Roadmap and should be coming in the next few months.

VasilMichev Hi, it's been a while. Is this feature available now? My organization is a Microsoft Partner, and we'd like to use Microsoft products for everything, including webinars. We're still struggling whether or not to use Webinars or Live Event, because both have features that we need but that the other doesn't. 

 

For some context:

 

Live Event - hides participants and allows public events but does not have the option for people without Microsoft accounts to add their names to the meeting. Therefore, we cannot track actual attendees. This would be solved by asking anonymous guest attendees to fill out a name and email address upon admission.

 

Webinar - solves the issue of no anonymous attendees within the meeting. However, even with the chat disabled, participants cannot be hidden. THIS IS SUCH A SIMPLE FEATURE! Everything else would be perfect with the Webinar option if we could hide participant names. You said this would be coming soon - WHERE IS IT????

 

No wonder why people prefer Apple.
