What is a Zoom Webinar?
A Webinar is a seminar conducted on the Internet. Zoom-supported webinars have three different participant types: Host, Panelists, and Attendees. The Host and Panelists are full participants in the meeting. They can view and send video, screen-share, annotate, etc. The Host can invite up to 50 Panelists to a webinar. Attendees will see the presenter(s) and any shared screens. Attendees can also submit questions via chat. These can be answered in kind or live to the webinar participants. Webinars can be live-streamed on "Youtube Live" and "Facebook Live." They can also be recorded. The maximum number of attendees depends the package purchased from Zoom.
You may host a webinar with or without attendee registration. You may also access attendance reports for your webinar.
If you anticipate more than 100 participants in the webinar, OIT recommends consulting with ND Studios. They offer professional production services including studio space, broadcast engineers, and top of the line audio and video production. ND Studios services are fee-based.
