When viewing an event on the Granicus Platform, Open the Comments tab and click the All Meeting Settings button to open the Public Meeting Settings page.
Scroll down until you see the Make Users' Comments Publicly Visible? checkbox. This setting determines whether or not comments are publicly visible to users on an organizational level. If this checkbox is not selected, comments are hidden from the public, and you cannot override this at the meeting level. However, if the Make Users' Comments Publicly Visible? checkbox is selected, you can choose to hide comments for a specific meeting by clicking Hide Comments from Public Views on the eComments page for that meeting.
Disable Recent Activity Widget
To disable the Recent Activity widget, an administrator will need to go to Settings and uncheck the Show Recent Activity checkbox. By unchecking the box, the Recent Activity widget will be hidden from the public view-- meaning commenters' names cannot be viewed by the public. When making a comment as a guest, only the Name field will be required (Note: Government employees will be able to see what was entered in the Name field even though it is not publicly displayed).
