How to hide participant list so can protect the privacy attended list?

Hi @Simon5678, Welcome to the Zoom Community! This is a great contribution as I am sure many others may have the same question 🙂

Hiding the participant list is currently unavailable using Meetings. You can however hide the participant list utilizing a webinar: https://zoom.us/webinar. Please take note of the limitations and differences between webinars and meetings, here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005474943-Meeting-and-webinar-comparison.

If you would like to see this capability using Meetings, please provide this feedback to our product teams at https://zoom.us/feed. 

Hope this helps!

For my research purposes, I have encountered a similar scenario where it is necessary to disable the participant list for panelists. This is to ensure that during research interviews, candidates do not feel like they are being watched by others. Therefore, it is important to take measures to minimize any potential discomfort or self-consciousness that may affect the quality and authenticity of their responses

Just a thought to consider:  If confidentiality is super-important, use a Webinar format.  Attendees can't see any other attendee names, nor can they see their screens, which also display names.

@sajithkumar Your screen is showing the Participants panel in a Zoom Meeting: you cannot disable viewing of this panel in Zoom Meetings, only in Zoom Webinars.
